Back to School

The fall is here;
Big yellow buses line up along the school yard.
At thirty-eight years old, I still feel the anticipation and weight of September.
Summer is over—and so are the vacations, swim days, midday movies, and lazy TV watching.
The joy of picking out my "first day" outfit; first impressions count!
Meeting new friends, maneuvering around campus and classes; too much homework.
As an adult I appreciate the return of fall;
Crisp weather, layered clothing, and reading a book cozied up by the fireplace.
Occasionally waking up in a panic about finishing homework—and then I remember that I work for myself, and all is well!
