Summertime

My grandmother would declare on July 4th that summer was over. I  understand what she meant: here in the northeast we look forward to summertime, especially after a tough winter like the one we just had.  But once summer arrives, it flies by.  Some of our college students return to school in a couple of weeks!  I guess it is a reminder to live in the present, to savor each day and not to waste time in reviewing the past or to spend too much time anticipating the future.  Enjoy the now.
