There is
something satisfying about finishing a month on a Monday. Mondays are supposed
to be beginnings but today happens to be an ending.
August gets one last day before we flip the
calendar and September takes over. Summer has not officially finished, but we
can see the finish line from here.
T.S. Eliot wrote, “To make an end
is to make a beginning.”
That is a clever way to look
at today. We spend too much time waiting for the perfect moment to start
something. The first of the month, Monday mornings, New Year's Day, and our
birthday.
Today gives us both. It is Monday, and it is
the last day of the month.
Finish something.
September arrives tomorrow
morning.
We do not have to drag everything from August into September. Some
things deserve to be carried forward, and some things are better left behind.
..And some things need to be finished.
Give August a proper
goodbye today because tomorrow morning we get thirty brand-new days.
The Cubs and Sox having winning records at the end of August, W I N N I N G!
