If things go according to my hopes, I’ll be back in the United States when this is released, where I am desperately hoping to get some rest. Like so many people, the pandemic has greatly affected my work as well as any vacations I would have had over the last two years. I had just moved to Mexico in June 2020, and was working as a teacher at half the pay and double the work I was used to, and all remote. In 2021 I returned to my old school in South Korea, where my pay was much higher, but the amount of work was similar since I was the assistant academic director. I then moved to a new school in South Korea, where I worked less, but enjoyed it less as well, and then they terminated my contract.

I’m tired.

I’m ready to sleep late with no alarm clock, spend some time with family and friends, eat some really good barbecue, and relax. 

I’m very ready for some rest.

I hope these affirmations help you to find a little bit of rest.
