It’s summertime and the living is easy…… I love that song. Really brings me back to a gentler time in
youth. The living is easy now but not
without emotional upset. But I’m
learning to walk forward in spite of.
The cool of
spring left quickly and the outside air temps are reaching nearly 100 with the
heat index. Hot folks, hot!
We went
camping just before it got exceptionally hot.
I love the water and camping but when all you can do is stay in the
water… well night time becomes a problem.

So, a couple
of things…..
It’s time to
enjoy this weather! Camping… Kayaking …
Yes! Kayaking.
Headed in a few weeks for a day trip.
Now, last year we loaded up in August and along the way we always stop,
jump in to cool off and splash and play.
Well, until the Water Moccasin came after us. Literally…. As a matter of fact after one of
the kids. Scared us all to death! So, that was so much fun we are doing it
again. We have enjoyed these trips for 4
or 5 years now. The water is cold and in
places moving swift but not scary.
Mostly this is a paddle trip…. But what about the snakes? Mmm. Still gonna get wet but may not get in
the grassy areas… ewe!
Probably
taking the g-kids to our local wave pool this weekend. Wave Pool, slides, Olympic pool. Beach… just fun! I so enjoy hanging out with them so unless it
rains….
Now, one
thing I haven’t done before this summer is visit my brother down south. He lives about 6 hours from us. Just happens to be on the way to the beach
(sort of). So, road trip with my
traveling companion and sister.. Lucy to
my Ethel or vice versa. Just a short 3
days but I just think it will be fun. I
love spending time with him and going to the beach for the day is something
that excites me as well. When S and I
were dating we took a short trip to the beach.
It rained the whole time but being together was so much fun (sniff,
sniff). That was then…. This is now and I’m
getting back to whole….. yeah me!
Well that
along with day trips to the lake and hanging out at 4th of July…
will pretty much sum up the summer… sounds so final and its only June 23rd. Planning way beyond today but enjoying the
distraction.
Life isn’t
great or is it? A few days ago I was so
incredibly down that well…. Thank God I’m not there (right now)..
You know that
saying that every day is a chance to learn something about ourselves. Well I’ve gotten a huge does lately and maybe
it will change how I moved forward and maybe it will be tossed aside as it
should be…. For now.
God grant me
the serenity to accept what I can not change…. One of the hardest things I know…
cause Lord knows I am a fixer… oh and I break things too.
