Head Space Daily Words...

Today is my eldest son's final day at Junior school. Those early school years are a real coming of age journey of growing up. It only seems like yesterday that we struggled to get him through the school gates in the morning, as he begrudgingly went to school each day; yet now he is a happy, confident young man, taking everything in his stride, growing in confidence with each passing day and is someone to be truly proud of. His greatest quality is that he understands people and has great empathy towards the other kids, fully respecting who they are, where they're from and their individual circumstances. He cares about people, which is a fine trait to possess. Last night was the year six leaving show - a performance of Midsummer Night's Dream - and very good it was too - funny, emotional, uplifting - all those things you want from an end of year, school leavers performance. Proceedings were rounded off with a version of Manic Street Preachers Your Love Alone Is Not Enough (see Head Space Daily Tune) which sounded better than the original and called for an encore. This evening is a 'graduation' party, as the kids will get a send off from the school. Tears will be shed...
