So many of these words feel like summer to me. It's certainly the spirit around here, with only one week of school in session, we are feeling the giddiness that comes with the anticipation of the endless expanse of summer lingering on the horizon. Already, the days have become full of such warmth and energy that seeps through my bones, leaving me with a desire to embark on fresh beginnings, see the world with fresh eyes and live with optimism radiating from my soul. This is nothing new, it happens each year with the arrival of the sun in all its glory. I welcome it for what it has to teach me and the many ways it will delight me.
