This year is flying by.  Hard to believe, in two weeks, we’ll be enjoying Labor Day weekend!  After that Halloween is up next.  For some reason, after Halloween everything is a blur and soon it’s January 1.

Take time to enjoy the last “lazy” days of Summer.  Do the fun things you’ve meant to do this year.  My summer goal was to read one shelf of books from one of my carts of books.  Don’t ask why I have so many books because that’s a story for another time.  Anyhow, I love reading and I have been working through the shelf and have three books left.  Since I grew up in NY, Summer is June, July and August.  I consider Labor Day weekend the end.  I might not make the deadline, but I’ve accomplished more reading this summer than in the past and I will make sure I finish the shelf before the end of September.

The point is that life is short, and time goes by very quickly.  Make sure that you’re not just doing things you have to do and not having any enjoyment in life.  Enjoy your family and friends while you can.  Do the things you’ve been wanting to do.  Covid reminded us just how precious life is, and how quickly it changes.  If you learned nothing else from it, I hope you learned to appreciate every day God allows you to open your eyes.  That is truly a gift.
