Best Summer Ever: Days 54, 55, and 56

August 23, 24, 25
Stop the Clock -- or At Least Slow it Down

Time seems to speed up as the end of summer approaches.

You blink and a couple of days have whizzed by.

At least that's how it is for me.

It seems like every committee I belong to is revving up for fall. Some go-getter committee chairs even want to meet before Labor Day so that they can start the volunteer year off with a bang.

Meanwhile I've been trying to get the to do list in my head into my computer. (I'm still loving Things, that to do list software application for Macs I wrote about a couple of weeks ago).

I think this would be a good time for me to re-read some of my earlier entries about relaxation and having fun and managing stress. If I want to carry that summer feeling into September, I need to de-stress, starting right now.
