September

September, I think, smells different from all the other months.

To me, it has always smelled of new school supplies and ever since I moved to the US, it has smelled of school buses (do you know that we don't have school buses in France?) 

It smells of new beginnings, it smells of resolutions. It smells of happy structure, of productivity, of safe routine. 

Of meals shared together, too. It is the sweet yin to the summer's yan (or is it the other way around? I never know...)

I wish all of us a happy, happy September!
