Don't you love a three-day weekend? I do. Even when you have a lot on your calendar, it seems like it's more relaxing because you've got an extra day to do it all in.
It seems particularly nice at this time of year since it helps me transition from summer into my denial that fall and winter are coming. Oh I'll still be in denial for a good long while, but even so, I'm glad to have this transition day to anticipate the good things about the fall.
And there are lots of good things about fall. We'll have more summer harvest to enjoy along with apples, soups, casseroles - lots of tasty things we didn't want to heat up the kitchen with this summer. There will be crisp days, the bright colors of mums and leaves along with more muted and still lovely colors of fading flowers. Cider, fires in the fireplace, cozy sweaters, and a different rhythm to our work and play life. Lots of good things.
That's where I'm going to try to keep my focus - on the good things to come. Surely that will ease the melancholy I often feel in the fall - already missing the good things of summer. It's all good.
More next week... In the meantime, have a wonderful third day of your three-day weekend!
