Kenneth Slaysman 4/12/2020 2:49 PMI've been struggling with lower back pain. Getting out walking for an hour each day is a chore but it helps to loosen my back. Distance learning is not conducive to keeping my back in tact. -

Reflection QuestionSimplicity MeditateWhat would you like to invest more time in reflecting on?
Kenneth Slaysman 4/03/2020 2:50 PMMy future. I retire from teaching full time in May. I still love to teach so as I transition to teaching part-time I want to reflect how I can connect more effectively with my students. -
Reflection QuestionWater 5-Minute ShowersFive minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?
Kenneth Slaysman 4/02/2020 3:41 PMWell, 5 minute showers are relatively easy. I can abide by the old adage with flushing the toilet: if its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down. I can make sure the dishwasher is full before running it. -

Kenneth Slaysman 3/31/2020 2:15 PMFor most of my life I've not considered how my behaviors impacted the climate and by extension the billions of people, the flora and the fauna on this planet. I want our children and grandchildren to have the kinds of opportunities I've had all my life, so I need to continue to change my behavior. I plan on taking shorter showers, eat less meat and extend thanks and kindness to others during this challenge. -
