But rather than feeling anxious that September will come too fast, or dwelling on the fact that summer is too short, take a break. Relax. Renew your spirit. Make a list of 10 summer things you can still accomplish before Labor Day. Then schedule them, so they don't slip by undone.
For me, July and August are spent planning for the rest of the year, especially Christmas. And boy if that doesn't rush things along! But I still take time to water my garden, plan a picnic, and squeeze in one more camping trip.
And to help you along with your dog days relaxation, we're giving away a summer spa gift set, perfect for gifting yourself or someone else if the occasion fits.
And tell us in the comments what is one thing you've yet to accomplish between now and Labor Day?
Have a happy day!
