Can we get that end of summer feeling back? The sadness of summer camp ending and the anticipation of the first day of school, seeing all my friends for the first time since summer started. Fairs and Festivals. Back to school shopping! (buying new clothes for work doesn't have the same excitement). The last beach days and BBQ's by the pool.
I mean there are still the pumpkin lattes and apple pies to look forward to. Pumpkin picking and Halloween. Trips to the wineries. The smells and colors of fall approaching. Leaves changing to beautiful reds, oranges and yellows. The cool night air and warm apple cider. Fall fashion, the boots and sweaters. Plaid skirts with knee highs. Dark nails and lips. And a fading tan.
I feel like it was just yesterday that I was walking around campus at college checking out all the people. Fall semester was always my favorite. The college I went to has a lot of old buildings and lots of beautiful trees so it was always a magical place to be.
As most of us adults are working the typical 9-5 grind, we come home make dinner, watch tv and go to bed. We don't play anymore. We don't enjoy the moments. We wish for the weekends to come but we are wishing away our lives. We need to stop and enjoy what we have and really appreciate every second of every day!
