Summer's End

So, summer is coming to an end.  I find it ironic since it has dragged me kicking and screaming through all three months.  It's a sort of melancholy feeling, though.  I wish there was more time, sure. 

There's something that I have learned over the years that I feel should be shared for those who have not yet had this experience... It is what it is.  If it's hot, people will complain of the heat and pray for cool.  If it is cool, they will complain of the cold and wish for heat.  I have learned to just be content with where you are at and then it seems more bearable.  Know that whatever weather we have is just what we need right at this very moment.  It's all His plan.  It works out.  Don't worry, be happy.  Lol!

The topic has been one of discussion for years and it periodically comes up with one or two different spins on it, but it is ultimately the same.  I do not remember where I read this, but I once heard it said that it was not understood what America's need for restating the obvious was.  I happen to agree to a point.  After that point, well..... 

People use these for ice breakers, for social interaction and for conversation starters.  I get that.  It's hard enough walking up and talking to a stranger these days.  It's a safe, neutral topic that almost anyone can relate to.  It also can tell you the nature of the person to whom you are speaking.  A negative view can be a real eye opener to the person's approach on life, thus, giving you insight and the ability to determine your exposure to that individual.  Sounds deep for a Wednesday, dudnit?

Let's bring it down a rung, then.  Two weeks.  Two weeks to prep my boys for their learning careers this upcoming term.  Not many of you know that I home school.  I have taught all five of mine.  The last three left are 17 (senior year), 12 (7th grade) and 9 (3rd grade).  This year will be very stressful for many reasons: Senior requirements, emotional last year and possibly last year at home.  the other two are taking too long, lolol! I am kidding.  Anyone who knows me knows that these guys are my life. I will miss them just as much when it's their turn. 

Question of the Day:  If you have kids, what are their dreams and goals?  If not, what are yours?

So proud of my guy!  God be with you all and have an amazing day!!!
