Actually because of leap year, tomorrow is the exact midpoint in 2008 – day #183 with 183 more to follow. If you were to balance the entire year on a single point, that's we are right now.<br /><br />Nevertheless, today is the end of June – meaning that the first 6 months of the year are over and that 6 more fresh, unused months lie ahead.<br /><br />Today is the end of the 2nd quarter of the year (also referred to as “2Q” or “Q2”) – sort of a “halftime” until tomorrow when the 3rd quarter starts.<br /><br />Think of it as watching a rebroadcast of a football with the halftime removed when as soon as the second quarter ends the next one starts.<br /><br />No matter how you choose to look at – by month, number of days, or quarter – we’re right smack in the middle of this year 2008. Guess the only thing to do is finish with a flourish!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;color:#663300;">* For more information about my consulting and coaching services visit my website </span><a href="http://www.stevehoffacker.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;color:#663300;">stevehoffacker.com</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;color:#663300;">.
