Vacations have their own rhythm, but nothing compares to a rainy one.
The world slows down, and so do I.
No bells ringing, no lesson plans waiting, just the gentle drumming of rain on the window.
I curl up with a blanket and a book I’ve been meaning to read for months. A cup of tea keeps me company, steaming up the air just enough to feel like a hug in my hands.
Sometimes I doze off,
Sometimes I listen to the sound of raindrops tapping their own little melodies.
There’s a magic in rainy vacations for teachers.
We spend the year giving energy, direction, and structure, but here, the rain gives it all back. It teaches me to pause, to breathe, to enjoy the slowness.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s the lesson I’ll carry back with me into the classroom.
That sometimes the best learning happens in the pauses.
