One more day of commitments for the faculty retreat. We have an entire day to work on upcoming changes and expectations. I know better than to expect that there will be anything I can safely eat at the breakfast spread, so I eat before I come. Today the new schools are holding meetings, and we librarians are invited to attend and be part of their conversation about how to function in the new organization.
I am glad I am not required to do anything other than sit and listen. I can manage that. I am glad that the pastor change his meeting with me so I can go home right after the sessions end. I take notes. I work on being present and absorbing the discussions and concerns. I also serve on faculty senate and it is helpful for me to hear the thoughts of other faculty.
I move from room to room as the schedule requires, and focus on participating fully. I just keep going because God is my strength and my fortress and he will under gird my attempts to give my all to the work at hand and my ability to know when to call it quits and go home. Another blessing that the steroids are holding out, but I am beginning to fade.
