I hate to break it to you but… It’s almost October. What?! Where did September go? At this rate it’ll be Christmas next week. Okay, not really, obviously but you know what I mean. The days, weeks and months are flying by.

I’m not ready for Fall to be over (even though it technically just began). Way to make sense, right?

I swear time goes by faster the older you get too. I remember as a child, summer days seemingly lasting forever and of course school days lasting even longer than forever. I guess it’s all how we look at things.

But if only to be a kid again and have never ending days… Especially to ward off the inevitable W word.
