Week 31 2024

August.

I worked in the design field for about fifteen years before becoming a professor; during that time, August was just another month. Yes, it was a hotter month, but just another month. Now, August is the end of summer, and I have a flexible schedule. It marks the beginning of meetings, classes, and structure. Now hear me out; I am not complaining about August—my work is rewarding! But I will miss the summer days when nothing was scheduled except writing my book, reading current research articles, building a website network, or sometimes, watching mountain meadows.

August makes me thankful for June and July. There it is—August is gratitude month! I think I’m onto something!
