The first full week in 2020 has passed. To me it felt more like a shallow babbling. I couldn’t quite find back into my routines yet. It wasn’t like I was unmotivated for work, I was more missing the extra sparkle for the first few days. But slowly everything feels better. Although I might not find those routines easily because the next weekend is a long one because of Martin Luther King Day. In the beginning of February I maybe participate in a professional development to Washington D.C. and then it is already winter break in the second February week.
The weekend in contrast was absolutely wonderful. We had spring weather, i.e. almost 20°C and sunshine. I wore summer dresses and just enjoyed two beautiful days. It felt weird, but in a good way. I understand that those high temperatures are exceptional – but I also remember that in Boston there were two or three days almost every year in February where it suddenly got pretty warm. So maybe those days just came earlier this year. I, in any case, soaked up all the sunshine and warmth and feel now ready for winter. You know, I am still waiting for those snow days …
