Having processed six months’ of twelfths over the past few days, at last I’m caught up, and contemplating my twelve photos of the twelfth of December.
And, what with it being New Year’s eve and all, I think I’ll turn each picture into a resolution. (Huh. I just remembered that I did the same thing three years ago. Plus ça change…)
Anyway, I hereby resolve:
To continue making our home more homey.
To stick to our strategic planning timeline.
To be student centered.
To keep wearing un-gaudy Christmas ties all December long.
To differentiate my instruction.
To continue to believe in the vision of my boss (see picture #2), who was again a finalist this year for NH Principal of the Year.
To not just go to the gym in the winter.
To relieve my wife of the cooking more often.
To do better with the lighting next year.
To be thankful for what I have.
To honor my late mother-in-law’s memory, and celebrate my parents’ health every day.
To take my eBay hobby back up a notch to offset the price of the furnace that was installed December 12th (see picture #10).
Oh, and most relevantly to this space, I hereby resolve to have a good time with the 12 of 12—of 12!
