Summer officially began months ago, but psychologically for me–since work actually gets busier in June and July, my summer starts in August.
My son finished his stint at summer school today–jumping 7 percentage points on his math test, which seems, to me, like a pretty good leap forward in 5 weeks’ time. He also wraps up his Bike Camp, successful at mastering the rudimentary (sans training wheels) biking skills. The bike trails call us by name, and I can’t wait to have my new biking sidekick near me as we explore the great summer ahead.
Now I just have to convince my son that looking ahead while moving forward is more critical than looking backward when moving forward. A bit of biking philosophy most of us need, including me, to apply to our daily lives!
