The Summer Went By So Fast
“The summer went by so fast.”
No it didn’t. The Earth moved around the sun at relatively the same speed as last year…and the year before…and so on.
OK, so maybe summer only lasts 90 days this year instead of 93. Whatever. Each of those days consisted of 24 hours. No more, no less.
I get it. You don’t mean the words literally. What you’re trying to say is that you filled your time up with so many fun, sun-soaked activities, that the time “flew” while you were having fun. Or, since so few people enjoy the cold weather, you are playing the odds – appealing to the masses – with your impending dread of the winter solstice.
Jack of All Blogs realizes that Labor Day is the “unofficial” end of summer (put away those white shoes!) but there are still 15 days of summer AFTER the holiday. Don’t shortchange yourself. It’s up to you to squeeze every last drop of enjoyment out of the warmest season. The days are still “long” (until we foolishly change back the clocks and return to “standard” time) and the weather warm enough. Get off your ass and enjoy it!
Now settle in for a long winter. And let the “I can’t wait for summer” chatter begin.
