August and March

A friend in Sonoma just commented on noticing how it isn’t as light now when she gets up at 0530.  Why she gets up that early in Sonoma escapes me, but I am sure she has her reasons.

 August like March is a transition month.  For those of us who renew our routines in September, a huge amount of preparation takes place in August.  Grasping onto the last threads of light in the morning and in the evening, we still thinks weeks ahead.

I have a five year plan.  I hope it is more successful than those the Soviet Union used to displace people and free will.  It really is a seven year plan but that would bring all sorts of jinx issues into play.

This plan gets revised every August.  It was a twelve year plan once.  I suppose that’s a good sign.
