September is upon us, friends!
Today I passed a group of Jr. High kids waiting for the bus on their first day of school. Hair neatly groomed, new clothes, nervous and shy.
We all know by this time next week they will be making a lot of noise, flirting and acting their coolest.
Not today though. There was a bit of reluctance and trepidation to the whole thing. Summer's over. *Sigh.* I wanted to run up to them, give them hugs and tell them to HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
I didn't. (I am not sure if it would be more embarrissing for them or me! I remember being 14 well!) But you dear reader are my captive! Here's to a fabulous September- month of ending, month of beginning, of crisp mornings and sunny days, the return of hot cider and pumpkin everything, the melancholy of packing away the shorts and the flip-flops and the joy of snuggling into a big fuzzy sweatshirt.
There is gloriousness in the impermanance of it all, the fleeting moments of exquisite beauty, and the transition between summer and autumn. Gently we are led into the colder months of the year... but let's stay focused on today!
HAVE A GREAT ONE!
