I always try to believe that better days are on the horizon.  I remember the amazing days from the past, many of them with you both and I know that the one thing I can rely on is change.  Change is all around us: Spring is here, flowers are blooming, and circumstances are getting a bit of wiggle room.  Thank goodness for that wiggle room!  With all these changes, one is apt to start getting a bit too full of oneself.  Try to avoid this.

It’s ok to be proud of yourself, of course.  Self respect and pride in your abilities is essential.

Being humble and kind are two qualities that many of my students are not aware of.  No one has introduced them to the notion that you CAN just quietly pat yourself on the back and move on.

I know I’ve posted this song before, but it’s so good, it bears repeating…

Thanks, Tim McGraw for this amazing song.
