Nothing like the day after Labor Day to hammer home the fact that it’s no longer summer. And nothing like back-to-the-grind season to put most of us in a jaw-clenching, unhappily tense frame of mind. Seems like just a few seconds ago summer, with all its beckoning bewitchments, was just a glimmer in our eyes, doesn’t it? How can it already be harsh reality:thirty?
Well, buck up a little. The first few weeks of fall bring their own distinct pleasures, and you’ll make the transition, willing or not. Like you have a choice. Go ask the Sarcastic Ball.
Those of you who are finding it nearly impossible to reconcile your current condition with your inner seasonal needs might derive some comfort from the Day at the Beach Executive Sandbox. You’ll be answering the phone, dictating memos, writing press releases or whatever it is that you do for a living, but you can also be digging in the sand, resting a finger or two in the shade of a sunbrella, finding a pretty seashell, and keeping at least a small corner of your life dedicated to the memory of elusive summer. It’s hard to let go, but it’ll be back.
