The weekend was the last day of summer and the beginning of fall. People celebrated Labor Day to recognize the efforts of all of us who work every day to bring a paycheck home. I typically take the extra day off to work around the house, preparing things for winter.
It's nice to have an extra day off, but I do not get the whole celebration of Labor Day because I will always make a point to say "Thank you" to all I have interacted with in business.

Today is the official day of Summer.
The time of the year when most people are busy doing what they love outdoors, except those who work outside. God bless them; they have a hard job working in the elements all year.
I think most people enjoy the summer because everything seems to come to life, gardens are growing, lawns are being mowed, and people are boating or spending more time at the beach.
I say this from the perspective of someone who has experienced all four seasons, so I look forward to the warmer months. I'm not a fan of cold weather.
So, Happy first day of Summer.

I'm looking forward to the Spring and Summer months. It is a time for renewal, like most folks will do in January with resolutions. The outdoors is being renewed daily; something new is growing and thriving, and the critters are multiplying.
I try to renew myself every morning - the start of a new day because yesterday was history. I will admit it has been difficult with all the bad news, and I have expressed much of that here. And too much bad news makes it challenging to have a positive outlook daily. Most of the information we get is fed to us - not much of choice. I realize some folks only get their news once daily, and the odds of getting some good news are slim. So, you must try searching for good news and renewing yourself in several ways.
First, try to find some good sources online for the good news content that works for you, social media pages, hashtags, blogs, or websites, and go there every day.
The second is to establish a prayer life. Connect with your Creator, read the Bible, reciting your prayers at a minimum in the morning and evening. Re-connect/Renew your relationship with God daily.
