Around Windham: Back to school vibes and getting ready for homecoming

Hello Windham family! Post-Labor Day in Bomber Country always seems to be a turning point or symbolic start of a new year. Some of us feel a bit restless – anticipating the change of season, but not really feeling it yet (because the weather has still been hot), and many of us feel energized – ready to embrace the coming autumn and feeling a sense of renewal.

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.”
