Preparation.

“All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.” 

― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams

My friends and faithful readers:

Here is a short collection of words and thoughts for you to reconnect with. It's been awhile; awhile meaning about two months! As you can almost certainly guess, I've been keeping busy this summer! (Stay tuned for my summer re-cap :)

 I found the above quote to be quite fitting. I can safely say that I've had the summer of a lifetime! So many new people, and experiences, and discoveries! 

I have very little time left before being thrown headfirst into the structure and commitment that the school year brings. It's bitter-sweet. Seeing as I can't relive all my favorite memories from the last two months, I have no choice but to move on and make some more! But I do miss everyone and everything already. 

How am going to prepare myself, though, for the upcoming school year? How am I supposed to just jump right into it? I hate transitions. I do not do well with change. This part of the year is always hard for me, in case you hadn't noticed. 

I'll just have to ease into it, I suppose. Take the next few weeks of vacation to not be totally unproductive. Writing, making lists, cleaning, organizing, and planning. :) That's what's in store for me these next few weeks.

Is this time of year difficult for anyone else? How do you keep the transition from summer to school from catching you off guard and unprepared? (Or do I always just overthink it? Lemme know!)
