This is the time of year for graduations -- although -- I prefer to think of these ceremonies as commencements -- as beginnings. The signs of celebration are all over the place in displays of party products, in ads for gift suggestions and even in special wrapping supplies. High Schools and Colleges are keeping the tassel/cap and gown people smiling for sure. Some families are planning parties.
Here is my greeting to the Class of 2016 wherever you are:
Congratulations! You are on your way. Hopefully you have already learned that your work is just beginning. Hopefully you realize that you need to sort it all out now and find your own way. Hopefully you will decide to be a giver and not a taker. Hopefully you will be mindful enough to know the difference. I wish you well....
Good luck to you and remember the words of Winnie the Pooh -- "A grand adventure is about to begin".
