I never really cared for the month of August. Even though it was just as long as July and very much the Summer season, I couldn’t help but feel that Summer vacation was about to end.
Where July presented all the promise of long days of baseball, bike riding and swimming without a care in the world, August represented slightly shorter hours of daylight and the inevitable shopping trip to get school clothes and supplies.
No matter how hard I tried, I simply could not embrace the free time still allotted to me in the same way. Even as an adult I still have that same feeling. Despite the fact that I work all through the Summer and no one month should seem different from another, there is an ever so slight carefree attitude in July that diminishes in August.
Hope everyone had a great Summer! Now, it’s time to get down to serious business, like counting the days until Christmas…
