Far away
I'm feeling a little lonely and sad today, frustrated by the hugeness of the challenges we have facing us, angry at the world for being so unfair to these wonderful kids, missing my family and friends for the holidays and my birthday (in five days). Also Christmas in a very Christian area in an exclusively Muslim and Christian country is kind of a lonely time to be a Jew. I think part of the problem is that the past week or two has been so full of meetings that I've hardly had any time just to be with the kids, or working with my teenage students, and I miss them too! Any ideas for feeling closer to home when you're really, really, really, ridiculously far away?

Becks - Hi! I have been lurking the whole time. This post drew me out of silence. I know that feeling all too well to let it slide, especially when I have a gem of a warm-fuzzy to offer. Being away from home is hard. People don't comment as much as you want, emails can be more teases then actual comfort, and someday - no matter how much you love what your doing where you are - it just sucks to be far from home. This is for you. http://getmossy.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/for-becks/
