... of the day {quote}

a quote for you to take into the weekend with you.

{found on my favorite blog www.lovemaegan.com}

If you hope to expand

You should first learn how to contract.

If you hope to become strong

You should first understand weakness in yourself.

If your ambitions are to be exalted

Humiliation should always follow.

If you hold fast to something

It will surely be taken away from you.

This is the operation of the subtle law of the universe.

The law of the universe is subtle,

But it can be known.

The soft and the meek can overcome the hard and the strong.

The true strength of a country or a person is not on the outside.

Just as fish cannot leave the deep

One must never stray from one's true nature...

{LAO TZU}

Oh, say can you see...

Graduation Time!

The months of May & June mark the end of another school year. For many it signifies the final step of graduating from high school or college.  As parents, we wonder where did the time go? As students, it seemed that day would never come.

As a student, I counted down the years to high school graduation. 12 long years. 7 years of middle & high school drama. Then the 4 study filled years of college, to which the end of that presents itself with the scary realization of finding a job, a career.

Now, as a mother of two tinys, both under the age of 5, I already feel time is flying by! My youngest starts pre-school next year, while it will be my oldest last year of pre-school. Feels like yesterday I was bringing each of them home from the hospital.

So, as graduation is upon us, whether you are the parent of a preschooler {who next year is off to kindergarten},  the high school graduate {looking towards the next step},  or the college student {looking online at monster.com} CELEBRATE!  

This is the time to make memories & mark those special occasions with a party.  And who doesn't need a reason to celebrate?
