HELLO AGAIN!!!!!!

Meowdy partners! Seems to me like y’all are due a Round-Up in Cats and some Happy Mail.

It’s the end of August! What? The summer went by so quickly. It seems like I blinked once and then it was all over. Did you do everything you wanted to do over the summer? Do you feel prepared for the fall?

ok this cat is rocking this look

I certainly did not! I meant to learn to rollerskate, work on more art, and study a foreign language every day…that didn’t exactly work out perfectly.

is it just me or were the pictures in this all cowboy related before

But I got to do other things instead! I spent a lot more time visiting my grandparents and practicing cooking. What did you do over the summer? Did you do anything that you were really proud of?

Some of you might be returning to school in September, or maybe you’ve already started. Right now might be a good time to check in with yourself. If you’re feeling stressed, write down in a journal exactly what you’re concerned about. Are you concerned about making friends? Is there a particular subject that’s worrying you? Brainstorm some solutions over the next few weeks.

When it comes to new beginnings, feel the fear and do it anyway! Challenge yourself and go out of your comfort zone, but don’t feel pressure to do it all the time. Try to set aside time for yourself. Watch your favorite TV show on Friday nights with some hot chocolate (pumpkin spice maybe??), read your favorite book at the library, and reconnect with an old hobby.

I hope you have had an extraordinary summer. Keep on keeping on this fall! You got this! BlogTeam Believes In You! (BTBIY!)
