Begin........................

Word of the Day............... Begin......v.,.....to do the first part of an action. We all begin....we begin each day, we begin new jobs, new books, new adventures. We begin different health regimes. We begin new friendships. Monday is a BEGIN word. Today begins football season for Texas high school players. Two-A-Days.......the dreaded, but equally anticipated practices. We begin new diets when we want to lose weight. We begin new exercise plans. We begin to grow old....or so I've heard...:))). We all commence, start and begin any number of things in our lives. Many of us are great BEGINNERS, but not so great FINISHERS.....yeah it's you I'm talking to. Raise your hand. Maybe we don't finish because we lose interest. Maybe we don't finish because we run out of time. Maybe we don't finish because we lose our mojo for whatever it is we have begun. Many times beginning is the fun part......staying with it not so much. We will BEGIN a new school year soon.....new teachers, new students, new expectations. Students will begin to learn different subjects, or old subjects on a higher level. Teachers will begin to learn individual personalities of students and learning styles. Athletes will learn more plays, begin new strategies, and goals will begin both in and out of the classrooms. Whatever it is you begin...whether by choice or necessity, I hope you give it your all. I hope your finish and complete your goals. ....learn your lessons, continue chasing the dreams you begin, keep holding onto the things that will lead you to a bright curtain call. Every action, dream or hope has a beginning, middle and finale. The old saying is....If it was easy, everyone would do it!....keep that in mind as you begin today, tomorrow and the rest of your life. Begin with the end in mind. I can't wait to see what you accomplish!
