I could feel the undercurrent running underneath me today, propelling me into the exciting things around the corner. It was a good Sunday, a rare day of warmer temperatures, brilliant sun, low traffic, positive vibes. It was a day for Dylan and warmth, warmth built from the inside. The month will end tomorrow and bring with it the end of a long, tired spell.

I look forward to what February brings with new hope. The writing club is starting again. The job search is about to begin anew and with it the possibility of professional advancement. Upcoming weekends are filled with trips and activity and friends. My bookshelves are lined with newly rented books on Africa.

Today felt good. The movie Sideways had some startling brilliant moments. I felt the first pulses of the undercurrent and hopefully it will carry me through to some new passions in the classroom tomorrow.
