We’re headed out for a family vacation tomorrow. I have a couple of posts planned, but who knows if I’ll be able to tear myself away from the beach.

Once we get back home, there will be just a few days before school starts, so it will be a busy, exciting time around here. My daughter starts first grade, which seems so grown-up.

I hope you all take the time to savor the last days of summer: the messy basements, overflowing inboxes (not mine – yay!) and piles to file can wait . . .

Sometimes the journey to order, serenity and peace of mind winds through corn fields and sand dunes, and along the rocky shore.
