Summer’s Almost Gone

Photography by Daria

I can hardly believe it will be August tomorrow. As people always say, where has the summer gone?  I’ve had a busy summer so I haven’t blogged recently. If your summer has been as busy, you probably haven’t missed them! I know the reasons for not blogging are really all excuses, but time slips through our fingers.  

We bought a house, moved, and sold a house. That says a lot right there! The packing, unpacking, finding the perfect spot for most things, weeding out what needs to go (Does it bring me joy, Marie Kondo?), painting walls, rehanging pictures, filling in all those little things that the new house needs . . . , it all takes time and energy. Then add those things we really want to do like enjoying our grandchildren, attending family events, being available to help loved ones,  spending time together as a couple to keep our marriage strong, going to craft/art shows, catching up on the new season of Stranger Things on Netflix, etc. (There are priorities, of course!) Then add all the things you have to do: bill paying, doctor/dentist visits, yard maintenance – you know the list.

We are mostly settled now, but as we approach August we want to soak up as much of summer as we can while it’s still here. I hope for more walks at the beach, swims in the community pool, picnics with friends/family, outdoor fun with the grandkids and games of corn hole in the backyard. 

If your summer has flown by, take time to evaluate what you haven’t been doing (or doing enough of) to enjoy the season while it’s here. Then make time to do it! Schedule it! We all know what’s around the corner.  Share with me what’s on your list.

Until next time!
