And how will I manage?

Next week I'm back to work, back to teaching.

I've really enjoyed my vacation this year. I didn't notice that my nest was empty, not like a few years ago, when for the first time I really felt alone during the day. My babies were both in the army, no work, no schedule, other than the women's hours in the local pool.

I'd rush to classes in the Israel Center, Jerusalem, even though the level was barely challenging.

This year I could have used more time.

I write, blog, photograph, grandmother, visit friends. I could live like this forever. Good preparation for retirement.

Maybe I should take a good look at summer sales and search for bargains.

Seize the day!
