Back to School

Continuing with my "love for Autumn" theme, I have to say I am so excited to get back to school.

After high school I decided not to go the traditional route (college) and instead did my own thing (work). For years I kicked myself in the butt for not going straight to college. Seeing my peers advance quickly in their corporate jobs sometimes made me question whether or not I had made the right choice.

I am happy to report that yes, indeed, I made the right choice. My life and my work has been a great ride... and the killer part is that I get to do more of it and still on my terms. Oh that streak of independence will get me every-time.

So now I am there... ready to go back to school (I have done a fair amount of college work over the years) but I still have a ways to go. And that's fine.

I have to ask myself though... Do I want to go back to school to continue my education or because, like many people I know, I could spend days and days buying office and school supplies?

Right? C'mon... we all remember our SAT "analogy questions."

Children are to Toys-R-Us as Adults are to ________?

More to come...
