Hello darkness, my old friend. You inspire us to find the light. While most of us spend this month thinking about gratitude, I like to think that ASF does this every month.

As we say goodbye to summer and the late sunsets, the carefree freedom from routine and the lazy mornings, I’m not sad.

It’s tempting to make this month’s blog all about back-to-school: sharpened pencils, school bells announcing transitions, the whoosh of school buses braking around town.
