It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I very much love the patriotism of July the fourth. But in addition to celebrating our nation's independence this day, for me, marks the middle of the year when it's only a few days till Autumn. Autumn means the weather is going to cool down, the leaves will change colors and school will start. Pretty soon there will be a nip in the air. Everyone will be carving pumpkins and getting their costumes ready for Halloween. After this, of course, is Thanksgiving and then - Christmas.
Thinking like this allows holiday planning and the magical anticipation of the all-too-rapidly coming season to be relished all the longer, savoring each day to the fullest.
