Happy New Year's...In August

It is officially Back to School.  I know this because Staples commercials just said so, despite the fact the first official day of summer was less than a week ago, and we still have more than 5 weeks remaining until the dreaded school bell tolls.  Commercialism in our society has really changed things.  Halloween decorations already line the shelves at multiple stores....and Christmas follows soon behind.  This says a lot about our society as a whole- we are always in a hurry to get to the next thing.  

That being said, like the Staples commercial suggested, I am getting ready for "Back to School".  Being a teacher means I get to go back  little earlier than everyone else- so I am doing my shopping and planning now.  (Thank Goodness there are stores like Staples who are having fantastic Back To School sales).

In my world, however, back to school is my New Year's.  Resolutions surface and organization tools are pulled from distant corners.  It is this time of year where I  reflect upon the successes and disappointments from the previous year , and commit myself to preventing the negatives from resurfacing.......as I,  like the consumerized culture I live in, rush the current season in anticipation of the next one.
