School is back in Session

I guess I'm not very good at posting often. It's been another 2 plus weeks since I've last posted. But here we are. It's August 20th and most schools started again today in my part of the world. Some parents are so glad this day is here and others cried as they took their child to their first day of school. I always hated to see my child go back to school. I never looked at her as a bother or a pain. I enjoyed having her at home and now that she's in college and practically grown; I miss getting to see her every day. She begins her 3rd year of college this Thursday. But the point of this blog is: School is back in session.
Maybe you've never thought about it, but school is always in session. Life is a classroom and we either learn from it or we don't. I believe we can learn something every day if we open our eyes, our ears, and our brains. If we're honest we can look around and probably see quite a few people who we wish would have learned from some of their mistakes. Sometimes they're looking at us in the morning mirror. One of the great quotes of all time is: "Those who don't learn from the mistakes of others are doomed to repeat them." I encourage us to realize that school is in session and we're either learning or flunking out.
