last day of summer break


The sun is shining, and the temperature is pleasantly cool. Pretty and comfortable:  I don’t think I could ask for a better day. It’s the sort of day that enhances a physical activity, such as a job, a bike ride or a round of golf, or an outing, such as the State Fair or the Renaissance Festival. But, I’m not doing any of those things. Instead, I am preparing for the start of my school year by having the calmest, least stressful day I can. No run around. No housework (well, there are a few loads of laundry and some tidying up to do but my goals there are pretty minor). Lots of cuddling with the boys, reading books for pleasure, planning our menu, packing my books and sketching tools, and treating myself very gently today.
