Just last week someone said to me “I can’t believe summer is already over” and I got very defensive. It’s only August! There are still 6 more weeks of summer. Yes, the kids are heading back to school, football is starting and hints of fall are in the air, but we still have plenty of time left to savor the longer days.
We are often so quick to jump to the next thing and forget to enjoy the present time; walk into any store and you’re immediately greeted by Halloween decorations even though we haven’t even made it to Labor Day.
With all the constant reminders around us of what’s coming next, it’s easy to get caught up in the future moment and forget about the present.
Not for me though. I am committed to savoring every last moment of summer this year and soaking it all in while I can.
For those of you, who like me, love everything about the fall season – from the smells to the crispness in the air- don’t worry, it will be here before you know it.
