My Wish for My Staff as We Come Back

Begin tomorrow as if it is the first chapter of a new book. Do not let thoughts, disappointments or frustrations of past years impede the power that you possess. Tomorrow, you will hold some child's future in your hands. That is an awesome responsibility requiring patience, preparedness, and continuous learning. Welcome back and remember in the midst of all you are asked and required to do , you still must Take Time:
TAKE TIME to think -
it is the source of power.
Take time to read -
it is the foundation of wisdom.

TAKE TIME to play -
it is the secret of staying young.
Take time to be quiet -
it is the moment to seek God.

TAKE TIME to be aware -
it is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to be friendly -
it is the road to happiness.

TAKE TIME to laugh -
it is the music of the soul.
Take time to give -
it is too short a day to be selfish.

TAKE TIME to work-
it is the price of success.
Take time to dream -
it is what the future is made of.

See you in the AM.
