Happy New (school) Year!

September has arrived and over the next few days the boys and I will return to our various different locations to begin a new school year.  Although we will be sad to say goodbye to the relaxed and seemingly endless days of summer, it is also exciting to be starting afresh.  A whole new year stretches before us full of possibility and promise (and new pencils!!)  This time of year is always one which inspires me and I am hoping that this year will be no different.  I feel like my head is bursting with ideas and the break over the summer has left me keen to try some of them out as soon as possible.  Somehow it seems so much easier to get enthusiastic about new year resolutions while the summer still rests on my skin and the ease of restful days still fills me with energy...How about you?  Are you still tied into the rhythm of the school year?  Or do you prefer to wait until after the shortest day and start your New Year in January?  I would love to hear what you think....
