I know it feels like Summer is almost over, but it’s not! We still have plenty of time to enjoy the warm weather. Here on the Jersey Shore, we call September our local summer! It’s when all the tourists go home, and we have the beaches and restaurants to ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do love the energy that the summer season brings, and of course, many of our small businesses depend on it, but there is something sweet about the quietness the cooler weather brings. Everyone slows down and prepares for the Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any time, but especially during the local summer, I love to head down to the beachfront with a good audiobook and walk the boardwalk. I try to do it every day as part of my routine. I read an article a long time ago that everyone should take an hour a day to get some exercise. It has stuck with me and relives the guilt I sometimes feel about taking time for myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to use, and they have great customer service. However, there are other apps, such as Google Play Books and Scribd, but I haven’t tried either. Also, most libraries have a wonderful selection of audiobooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n
