Today was the last of the summer Sundays. It was a little bit sweet- an extra morning coffee, a sense of calm, in that the kids have two more days, a walk with the pooch, and a sprinkling of baking. And, also, it was a little bit scary – it’s back to school, back to mental time equations, and nervous bellies.
Don’t get me wrong, back to school is one of the most fun times of year! It is exciting and hopeful and energizing! But, the mama in me also mourns the loss of the beautiful gift that summer gives. I will miss the slow mornings, the leisurely snuggles, the midday walks, and the unhurried bedtimes.
This summer was a good one:
Farewell, summer 2023. Thank you for my healthy family, for the sunshine, and for so much more.
