School, Routines and Autumn
Whatever our age, I think we all get that “back to school” feeling when the calendar turns to September. The leisurely pace of Summer gets set aside as the days become shorter. Things just feel more serious. Less loose. Time to transition.
I feel the need to organize as if I'm starting a new school year. Change out my closet. Schedule appointments. Get things done. Incorporate fall decor.
My youngest son will be heading back to college next week and I'm excited for him to explore new topics in new classes with new teachers. Thinking like a student…what would you want to get better at or learn this fall?
I'm going to try and look at this month as a new beginning. A chance to script my own syllabus. Study something new. Read some good books. Take some “field trips”. And, treat myself to a new outfit for the “first day of school”…just like when we were kids.
