Snow has finally melted and I can see my lawn again. I never remember having a winter like this past one. Springtime is coming quick, the sun is stronger and the days are longer. Baseball's opening day is here. It's an exciting time of the year. The trees are starting to bud and the tulips are poking through the dirt. Looking forward to seeing if the seeds that were planted last fall develop into something special, something exciting.

When we take a course, a lot of times we have idea "seeds" planted, interesting stuff that sometimes takes time to develop. We need to check on and sometimes tend to the seeds to get them to mature.

I just got back from a course that was chock full of info. Some of what I learned is the 'hear it Friday, enact it Monday morning' stuff, some requires more attention, some reading, some discussion with others. A lot of times it is easy to say I got a few pearls out of this and am happy. It's the follow up that can turn good CE into excellent CE.

We are very lucky that when it comes to CEREC CE that there are mechanisms in place to help us grow these idea "seeds" into something more, something permanent. Make sure that after you experience Scottsdale Center or listen to one of the Mentors or Faculty, you participate in the forum, pose questions, make comments. It will help to expand the dynamic group collectively known as cerecdoctors.com.

Even if the seeds I planted last fall don't all grow, it still is better than having to shovel the driveway anymore!
