Back to the Classroom: A Journey of Resilience and Joy
On Monday, 27 May 24, I returned to teaching.
As I step back into the classroom, the familiar sights and sounds fill me with an indescribable joy. Itโs been years since Iโve been here, years spent in a tough battle with cancer.
But today, I stand here, grateful and cancer-free.
Every little detail, once ordinary, now seems extraordinary. Even this simple ordinary scene, sun casting its warm glow through the window, brings me so much happiness.
Iโm excited to be teaching again, to be part of shaping futures. My journey has taught me the value of every moment, and Iโm here to cherish and make the most of each one.
Thank you to everyone who stood by me. Your support has been my strength. Hereโs to new beginnings and the simple joys that life brings.
I wish you good health, wealth and love.Tim

Thank you, Jeff, my good friend.
It does mean I have less time to write my next book. I will still do my best to complete it.
Meantime, have to earn money to support my elderly mom and me.

We definitely have to prioritize, Tim!
One day at a time!
