Happy Labor Day

I have mixed feelings about today. It is an ending and a beginning. I am not sure which one I am happier for. Summer flew by and I can't even recall what I really did. I went to the same pool and hung out with the same people but everything was different. The conversation seemed redundant. It reminded me of the pool in a Florida condominium. Same seats, same conversation, same bathing suits. Maybe by writing this blog I am answering my own question. I guess I am happier for a new beginning. This afternoon my pool bag will be emptied and packed away until June. Tomorrow the traffic on the parkway will be heavy because the teachers are back to work. Beach mode will turn to school mode. The countdown to holiday season will begin. Maybe it all boils down to looking forward to change.
