Turning the calendar to December again this year evoked in me a fleeting moment of surprise. How could the year have passed so quickly? Are we truly in the last month of 2008? Unbelievable.
Yet, Thanksgiving is again a lovely memory, the expectancy of Advent has begun, and our last month’s chance to make the most of this year is upon us. There remain 30 days for any one of us to stamp 2008 with an extra amount of caring for each other and for our earth. If we have not reached out often enough, there still is time. If we have not prayed fervently enough, there still is time. If we have not found ample opportunities to lighten someone’s load, offer some comfort, volunteer, conserve resources, or simply be the best that we can be, there still is time to make a special mark before we turn the page to 2009.
As Saint Francis de Sales said so many years ago, be who you are, and be that well. For this, there always is time.

One thing I want to instill in my children is to do in life what you truly love! How many of us have "chased the money" but still feel empty, and only until we hit the age of 50 do we realize that there is more to life! That "more" usually stems around helping other people. That's why I have such an admiration for teachers and administrators, especially in the private school systems. You are truly doing what you love and you can actually see the changes before your eyes!
