September is the month of motion. Everything seems to get rolling during September. It's the month of change. October and November serve only to continue September's momentum before things slow down in December for the winter slump.
I've never much cared for the idea of beginning the new year on January 1. The dead of winter? It just doesn't make sense.
John Steinback once said that July 1 splits the year right in two (I'm too lazy to look up the quote). But I think I would go a step further. If it were up to me, I would place the new year on July 4. That seems to be when things really feel like they are about to start anew. August is the month for planning—getting everything in order. Then the action begins in September.
