Thoughts for Thursday

I'm not sure what the rush is to get from one season/holiday to the next. I'm tired of seeing Christmas items in July and Halloween in June. Some stores already have their Halloween costumes out. I'm not quite done with summer. Whatever happened to just enjoying the sunshine and lazy days? Whatever happened to swimming lessons and catching butterflies? I remember chasing the ice cream truck, eating popsicles, riding bikes, making forts and trips to the lake and beach. Do people even do that stuff any more? It doesn't seem like it. It seems like they are out there putting up the Fall displays and buying Halloween costumes early.

Don't get me wrong, Fall is by far my favorite season. But why couldn't we have the pace we did when I was a kid?
