This is the last weekend of summer since autumn begins on Monday.

Take the time this weekend to get outside and savor the sunshine.  Take an afternoon to sip lemonade or ice tea and eat fresh fruit, remembering the slower pace of summer days.

For me, one of the great benefits of celebrating and enjoying each season as it comes is that you are ready to let it go when it ends, prepared to open your heart and life to life's next adventure.
