In This Case, Definitions Don't Really Matter
I guess whatever I wind up writing while developing this habit over the next set of days and weeks won't technically be a "book of days", since most of the subject matter probably won't be calendar-related. But my inspiration for starting this up has "book of days" in its title, and is similarly a little scatter-shot in its approach to subject matter, so oh well!
September has always felt like a good time to start new projects and habits, or resume old ones; I know New Year's is the popular date for, given the passage into a new year and the resetting of the cycle of months, but December into January is just the movement of early winter into deeper winter. Sure, it's in close proximity to the days beginning to lengthen, but the effects of that won't be really visible until later, in February and March.
Around here, at least, September is fairly clearly the change of high summer into early fall, completely with leaves on the lawn, and the first tastes of cooler weather, which annually beckons me to a return to productive activity, after several months of languid lying around in front of fans and air conditioner vents.
