After the Last Firecracker Pops

 It’s July 1^st.

Know what that means?

Exactly six months from today, we’ll be celebrating New Year’s Day, 2014! Think about how quickly the past six months have passed. If the next six pass that fast, we’re almost there!

Okay. Go ahead and laugh. But, in a very short while, you’ll be agreeing with me.

I’m tellin’ you: After the Fourth of July, which is only three days away, the stores will start reflecting: School Clothes, Fall, Halloween and Pumpkins. And once these reminders are in the stores, it’s hard not to take them seriously.

Mark my words, as soon as the last firecracker pops this Thursday evening, it’s all over! You’ll still swim, picnic and perhaps go to the beach, but for all practical purposes, we’re speeding toward fall, colored leaves and another school year.

Enjoy the moment while you can. Too soon it will be just another memory!
