Around Windham: Fall is the new New Year

Hello Windham Family! Post-Labor Day in Bomber Country always seems to be a turning point or symbolic start of a new year. September has a back-to-school/new year vibe that is hard for me to ignore. Author Gretchen Rubin first remarked that “September is the other January” in her book “Happier at Home.” Gretchen noted that “Each year, Labor Day was a milestone that provoked self-evaluation and reflection.”

That happens for me, just like it does at the beginning of the new year. I find September to be a great time to reflect on my year so far, to commit to (and sometimes to even remind myself of) goals and intentions I set for myself back in January, and maybe even to set some new intentions for the remainder of the year before the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Take this month to reflect on your year so far and enjoy the many exciting things happening this month in our small town.
