The swingset is where I do some of my thinking and daydreaming. I swing on the swingset every day after I teach high school students. As a kid, swinging was as regular to me as a Boy Meets World re-run and an afterschool snack. As an adult, swinging on the swingset is still as familiar for me as watching the news and the first cup of coffee on Monday morning. It's funny- I think I may swing more now than I did as a kid. Maybe I need it more- I did say that I teach teenagers.
In this blog, I look forward to sharing thoughts on growing up, teaching, learning, and faith. Thoughts I think while on the swingset.
Props to Peyton and Alicia for kicking me in the rear to get this started!
Yay, Heath! Can't wait to read more... By the way, what's tea olive?
ReplyDeleteDoes the term "swanging" only apply to going to the swings at Wheaton? or is that a broad term for swinging on swing sets in general? :)
Love you!
I love it! <3

How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
