Today is September 1 here in the United States. For me this date has always seemed like the start of a brand new year because when my children were growing up it was the start of a new school year for them. The lazy heat-filled days of summer would be over, and the cool crisp days of fall would be welcomed as the prelude to all of the holiday celebrations. January 1 never seemed to me like the start of a new year except for the date changes.
As adults when my son and daughter talk about things which happened in the past they identify the timing as what grade they were in school. They don't refer to a calendar year but rather to 3rd Grade, 6th Grade, or junior high or high school years. September is the month when families get organized, clean closets, make master calendars to keep up with all the activities, enjoy the start of football season, and see trees turn from green to orange and gold.
September is a new beginning so what plans do you have? What changes will you make? Will this be a memorable year for your children or grandchildren? Although times have changed and the world is in great turmoil, life still goes on so make the most of it
