“We grow small trying to be great.” – E. Stanley Jones
One of my favorite things about summer is peaceful morning. Typically, I have to get up, rush around, and get my kids moving so they are ready for school in time. Then I have to get moving to make sure I am ready for work on time. During the summer, mornings go a little slower. I can wake up, enjoy my coffee, read a good book, and ease into the day. It’s nice to be able to move a little slower than usual.
Another thing I love to do during the summer is travel. One advantage of being an educator is I am able to take longer trips to see amazing places. Last summer, I had the opportunity to take one of the most amazing train rides that I have ever taken. I rode the Great White Pass Railway through the Yukon. The train ride was filled with some of the most spectacular views ever. There is nothing that can compare to it. The railway traveled by the route people would take to mine for gold during the 1896 gold rush in Alaska. The railroad was built there to take miners back and forth to the mines. While I wasn’t riding the train looking for gold, I did find some incredible views along the way.
