As I was walking my children across campus yesterday at their school, one of the administrators yelled that out to us. My little one laughed and then tugged me down to her level to ask me if that lady was ok..."she does know it's August and not January, right?"
I realized though, that most of us work on this "new year" instead of the traditional one. All our lives revolve around what starts about now. In our family, it's school, golf, and cheerleading. College football is right up there, too. We get new clothes, new shoes, new lunch boxes, new hair cuts, book bags, pencils, and friends. Sleeping late and sun tans fade away and become a distant memory. Sigh.
As you and your family embark on your new adventures for the year, I hope you keep in mind the importance of your child's education. Work on the fundamentals that will remain with your children long after the new clothes get too small. These are important things that will help your child throughout their life.
Since it is a "new year", my resolution is to keep up with this blog. I have an exciting year, professionally, that is just beginning and I think sharing with you all will be a great way to help me through what will be a crazy year.
Happy New Year!!
