This is a popular phrase for fall which is not quite upon us yet. Nonetheless, once Labor Day is behind us, we turn forward.
It seems that in the summer we try to seize the moment. We want to maximize each day’s pleasure in the balmy weather outdoors. Whether we barbecue, watch a summer sunset from a balcony, travel to new destinations, or gather with friends, it’s a mindset of presentness. Now that September is upon us, we tend to look to the next big season.
What’s on our minds is the school year, already upon us. The harshness of winter and its short days of natural light. It’s all about escaping from cold and unpleasantness to do what we are supposed to do. We think about slogging through the season that is oh so long while the summer which we anticipate is oh so short and already gone. Worry is beginning to weigh upon us.
As the days continue to have warmth and are balanced with cool evenings, let’s remember evenness is a good thing. Let’s enjoy the transitional aspect of the season. It’s got both elements, those of summer and winter. Let’s enjoy the contrasts of the present and the future seasons. Let’s enjoy the outdoor festivals and harvest activities available while at the same time be responsible and resolute about the tough times ahead on the calendar. We have three full months before it becomes truly winter.
It’s not time to store away our summer things yet. We can enjoy sports outdoors before exercise becomes an indoor chore. We can dine on summer bounty from our gardens and produce markets. We can also set up responsible routines for health, engagement, and finances now. We’ve got the time and relaxing environment to do both. Happy September!
