From a Former Life. . . . .

I just ran into one of my former Microbiology students from Westminster College. She remembered me. . . .I remembered her face, but forgot her name. She's a nurse now at a local hospital. She said she liked my class.

Wow. Once I had another life.

Today I am wiping runny noses, but I wouldn't go back to that life. I'm glad I experienced it, though.

But the child's whose runny nose you're wiping could grow up to be another teacher's microbiology student. You're still doing a great job!

Oh man, this happens to me ALL the time. I come across people that I taught in high school or at BYU or someone who I was their EFY counselor or something and it's all very twilight-zonish. I can remember it all so clearly, but kind of like a vivid dream. And though I'm not at all ashamed of what I'm doing now instead, I always wish I looked as good as I used to. But you can't fake away exhausted. :)

You taught microbiology? Cool.

Just went to a gala/benefit dinner at Juilliard...

"What am I up to?" I was asked.

Does playing at our Stake's Fine Arts Evening count? Well, it better, because that was a big deal considering all the boogers I was wiping in between practicing...

TOTALLY understand.
