Can anything involving the word puncture and the body be a good thing?

Maybe. Today I had acupuncture for the first time. Melody, my acupuncturist, stuck me with 24 pins in my feet, head, hands, and ears. I felt kind of wobbly for the rest of the day. I think I will try it again.

I am also grateful that I work with such wonderful coworkers.

Finally, I plan to call every single one of my students before the school year to introduce myself to them. I think this will inspire them. Or maybe just me. We'll see. It is all part of my plan to regain tireless enthusiasm and make stronger connections.
