It’s that time of year again. Kids of all ages are graduating and celebrating their hard work. Little ones are done with their early elementary years and eager for summer camp. Teens are growing up quickly, done with middle school, and ready to take on high school. The oldest – can you believe how fast they grow up – are finally leaving the nest, going to college, or graduating college and preparing to take on the great big world.

We are so proud of our graduates, and we wish them all the best on whatever leg of their beautiful journey they are on. Here is a short and sweet message for all of you to celebrate and for graduates needing some well-deserved rest. 

Drink in the sunshine, bask in the warmth 

Swim in the rain, laugh with the earth 

Crunch the leaves while they last

Climb the trees, they stick their limbs out for you

Laughter and tears, every ounce of love

Held closely for you, the sunrise and sunset

Smile at the flowers that blossom for you

Stand tall in the pouring rain and breathe easy 

A shining star cupped in our hands, gaze in awe

Dip your paintbrush and fill the world with your color

 

We hope this finds you well and that the celebrating never stops. Whatever celebration looks like for you, we hope it is to the fullest. Take a moment to share your favorite stories or save them for the next graduation.
