Mary’s Minute
“If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
                                                                    ~ Bruce Lee

I say it all the time, and I know it is cliché, but wow, time really goes quickly!  How can it be that another school year is ending?  I think time may be the greatest gift we have and in contrast the thing that may be most taken for granted.  When we think about how limited time is we realize how very precious it is.  Whether we are talking about the minutes that make up a school day, the moments that make up our children’s lives, or our own precious time on this earth, we know that the minutes, days, and years are limited.  We get particularly aware of the how quickly time goes and how prized it is at milestones, like retirements and graduations.  As we say so-long to long-time friends who are retiring and watch graduates walk across the stage, we may shed a nostalgic tear, as we reflect upon how quickly time goes.  These are great times for us to reflect on how we spend our lives.  Sometimes it is hard to think about time passage when we are going through the motions of life.  Every single day is a gift.  We should be living the lives we imagine, every single day.  We can’t afford to wait for a milestone to turn things around for us.  The time is now.  Thank you to our retirees and graduates for reminding us about the precious gift of time that we are given every day.  Congratulations graduates and retirees!  We wish you all the best in how you spend the time that lies ahead and thank you for time you gave to Perry Central!
                         
                                             Now is your time!
