ESCAPE THE ORDINARY
Saying adios to summer isn’t that hard when you live in a city that has six months of it. It’s the back-to-school, back-to-work, no more lazy days, and the evenings getting shorter that makes us want to shake things up a little bit. What we really want is less routine and more spontaneity. Less grind, more get up and go. Less samesame, more against the grain. So we sigh as we head back to the salt mines, to the kiddie cab from school to soccer practice, sitting in traffic. Sigh as we put away the pool noodles, rearrange our schedules to try and fit in the extracurriculars, wade through the week and hope that weekends will still feel like a slow road. Instead of wishing the weekdays away, why not embrace them for what they are, love the possibilities, remember the excitement of a new school year, the smell of a fresh box of crayons? The grownup version: Take a class, change your hairstyle, learn a new skill, rewrite your job description or invent a new one, switch gears, change perspective, and do something that makes you feel like you’re going to take over the world. You’re a go-getter, an all-or-nothing gal, a takeno-prisoners force of nature. So GO, sail bravely forth out into the world and just DO and BE.You’re the only YOU that can.
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” Dr. Seuss
