Day in a Sentence – transitioning into a new year
As a Jewish teacher, September does not only bring in a new school year but Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, as well. It’s a time for celebration and reflection as we transition into a new year, with new opportunities for personal and social improvement.
Last week I reflected on my own transitions and asked how yours were going. Here are your responses, your transitions in a sentence. Oh, and please, if you didn’t manage to add your sentence to the list last week, do add it to the comments! I love reading what you have to say – the experiences of others always add to my own :)
And if you’d like, something to listen to while reading through the sentences. This music made me smile this morning.
