For me, August is typically the most relaxed month of the year.  Things tend to be a little slower at work since colleagues and clients are on vacation.  I don't have back to school issues.  The hot humid days invite me to move more slowly.

That makes August a perfect time to nap on the hammock, read a good book, invite friends over for drinks or a cookout or homemade ice cream, visit a farmer's market and eat wonderful fresh things.  If it's ridiculously hot out, stay inside and craft a bit.

Don't let the days slip away.  Take advantage of the slower pace to rest, rejuvenate, and heal.
