summer

I don't think I have ever been so happy to see summer.

This past winter was especially

brutal.

cold & wet,

longlasting,

creeping into my bones and residing there.

Summer is warmth,

light,

flowers,

rain showers,

the beach,

a pool,

beach towels in vibrant colors,

sandals, 

no socks.

Summer is amazing!

And yes, 

in September,

I will be ready for cooler weather again.

God gave us seasons to enjoy,

to shake things up,

to put everything in perspective.

But right now, it is summer!

Enjoy!

Relish in the warmth of long days.

cool evenings on the porch,

walking on the beach,

or just looking up at the sky from the grass in the backyard.

Summer is here.

Celebrate!
