To the LYS Nation, Half of the school year is in the books. Time flies when you are having fun. Now is the time to enjoy some time with family and loved ones and recharge our batteries so we start the second semester at full speed. I wish everyone a joyous holiday season and the blog will return on January 3, 2011. Be safe, because we have a lot to discuss next year, starting with the second wave of “I Know the Hours are Long” comments. I leave you with a comment from Cynthia, a relatively new member of the LYS Nation and a prolific writer. As a participant in this blog, I would like to say thank you for the invitation to comment and write in. I would also like to say thank you for taking the initiative to keep the light at the end of the tunnel lit with knowledge. I would also like to say to all who read my comment have a safe and joyous new Year – until 2011 – peace, immersion (my new word) and “Game On!”Think. Rest. Be Merry.Your turn…
