I know! I know! It’s not January 1st. But I still have enough teacher blood in me that Memorial Day marks the end of a school year and the anticipation of the next. To me, it was always a time of reflection……
What went well?
What was a disaster?
What would be my resolution for the New School Year?
But over the years I realized that no matter how hard you plan ahead, nothing works out as you want it to….
This struck home to me this morning when I was watching the Today Show. They were talking about the reason why we TRUELY celebrate Memorial Day……to honor those, past and present, who gave us the opportunity to buy llamas and visit pubs in Ireland and go to Manager’s Special in Charleston and blog about silly things if we want to…
We never know what tomorrow will bring.
In the words of one of my favorite authors, Erma Bombeck:
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me.”
We can all give it!
Happy Memorial Day.
