New Beginnings…

My youngest son with his Fifth grade teacher on the last day of school

“What appears to be the end may really be a new beginning.” ~ Author Unknown t New Beginnings...

Today is the first day of July. Gee, I can’t believe May & June have already come and gone! I meant to write this posting at the end of May, however, it all came and went so fast.

As we attended my youngest son’s continuation to middle school, and my nephew’s graduation from high school last month, I had to stop and think…this is just the beginning of what lies ahead for both of them.

It also made me realize that my boys are now both out of elementary school! Now THAT was a shock. Never again will we be walking through the halls of the elementary school for parent teacher conferences or other school activities! Now it’s on to middle school and the remainder of high school memories for my sons.

My nephew, Randy, excepting his high school diploma

It was also a shock when I sat in the high school gym of Lake County High School to witness my nephew, Randy, receiving his high school diploma. I walked along that same stage many years ago when I received my own diploma. I guess it’s just weird seeing all of our nieces and nephews now taking the plunge into adulthood.

Not to mention, my own high school English teacher was giving the commencement speech that day – and even though she looked great for her age, it was evident that the years have passed.

It’s exciting to see what lies ahead for the children in my family. There’s so many hopes and dreams that they have. Hopes and dreams we all have. It’s all very exciting, and we all just need to keep in mind that we can all go wherever we want to go.

Have a great day!
