Summer was very nice this year, as I have kept in contact with many good friends, and made some new ones along the way. I oftentimes wonder, as I am sure other folks do, just where did the summer go? Although I worked feverishly, I feel as if I did not accomplish enough. Yet, I have all the free time in the world.
Just where did the summer go? The days change so slowly, the sunrise and the sunset, and we do not realize it until the last minute. Perhaps we are trying to hang on to those warms days when everyone always has plans for their free time. The outdoors, boats and barbeques, fishing and swimming...
It started with one or two cool evenings (cooler than usual, which I presume everyone is realizing the change is upon us), which developed into every night. When I wander outside in the early morning and see the moon traveling along a clear, starry sky, the cold dew on the grass, the automobiles, I remind myself that change is inevitable.
I just did not get enough done. I did not get out enough.
As the Earth hurtles along at a thousand miles per hour, spinning silently through the icy darkness, September approaches; it is the time of year that always reminds me that fall is upon us, the children are back in school, and another year passes by for me.
Soon, I will pass my days wishing for spring to grace us, the time when all things emerge from their hibernation and turn their faces to the sun.
The years pass by so quickly now. Where did the time go?
