Last Day, First Day

Last day of school, summer is here. Last day of my baby’s kindergarten year. Last day packing lunches and taking the bus. Last day for alarm clocks and making a fuss.

We’ve all heard the saying, Money can’t buy happiness. Yes, that’s true. But after what we’ve gone through in the last four years, I now subscribe more to  Zig Ziglar’s train of thought: Money isn’t everything in life but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the gotta have it scale.
