I was speaking with a friend of mine who lives in Fort Collins, Colorado last night at about 10 PM.  Late I know, he just moved there and the difference in time is still throwing him off a bit.

Bill, recently moved from Atlanta to follow his dream of living in the mountains - and clear the path for me when I get out that way very soon.  I’ve known Bill for over 15 years - first as a client and then a friend.

In Atlanta he is one of the owners of “The Dojo”, one of the more successful chains of martial arts schools in the country.  He has a huge amount of experience working with kids and adults, not only taking care of themselves with self-protection but taking care of their health also - all except this time of year.

It happens to everybody right at the end of summer. 

Vacations are coming to an end, school is getting back in session and our normal life is just about ready to get back on track.  Yep - the second busiest season of life getting in the way is almost past.

Right now, and for the next few weeks, health clubs, martial arts schools and just about everything except the back-to-school section of the stores is slow and it always is.

So what’s the point?

Bill and I have seen this for years.  It’s a couple of weeks right at the end of August when folks get busy.  We’ve also seen the magic of the first week of September when everything gets back to normal.  Ahhh… you get your life back on track.

So - if you’ve been busy this summer with others, just remember that you’re time is coming soon.
