Back to the grind

Decorations are being put away, the mall is getting back to normal, and I went back to work today for school district I work in. I guess you can say the end of the year holidays and festivities are over. I hear on the radio and in the news how some people get the post-holiday blues after all is said and done. I can see why it could get someone down, but I also see that just because there is no big celebration going on doesn't mean we have nothing to be happy about. Each day is a gift, something we can unwrap every morning and see what it holds for us. Why can't we get a little excited and happy about life during periods of the calendar when there is nothing major going on? Carpe Diem.
