goodbye summer

The summer begins to cool down and that familiar scent of early September morning returns. It begins to almost feel like Fall and the beginning of a new school year. Books, pencils, crayons, new clothes, getting back into that old routine. I'm looking forward to it.

I just realized that my first day of HS was 8 years ago! My little cousin (whose diapers I changed) is starting high school in a few days. That's made me think about my age, lol. I'll be in college for about 3 more years. Most of our youth is spent in school, it's really a lot when you think about it.

This summer has been amazing. It's been a summer of dance, performances, getting dolled up for the stage, and lots of laughter. I made it to the beach only one time, still hoping to go again before it closes. NYC summers are grossly hot, smelly, and uncomfortable. But I can honestly say this summer was a hundred times better than last year. I was lucky enough to find a full-time office job in the fashion district . And to perform in every dance program that came my way. I finally made it to Dance Camp! I missed it the past 2 summers, and its an experience I don't plan on missing again. I didn't go on vacation anywhere but I'm thankful for what did happen. The Ashram (spiritual centre) was my getaway.

I'm taking some great classes and I am so excited about teaching again. I saw 2 of my little students yesterday and I really have missed their smiling faces. I hope summer brought special moments for you too...

Love Always, Grandma
