As I write this entry, I find myself midway through summer break. It has been a surprisingly cool summer, the anticipated (and slightly dreaded) heat has yet to arrive. I have spent all of May, June, and July thus far enjoying my time home and without any due dates or deadlines to meet. I guess I took the time to relax, which is why I haven't posted in a while. I spent time with my family, at parks, painting, taking music and dance lessons, along with reading. Summer is a time to savor and make the most of each day. I've regularly been making lemonade and baking, and being present. I will always say that autumn is my favorite season, but summer has a special place in my heart as well. My mother has always made them cozy, bringing all of us together. I could live in an eternal summer and never remember there were other seasons at all. I also updated my wardrobe and added some cute skirts and dresses, including a cherry themed outfit complete with a red hair bow. Some series I've watched are "My Life with the Walter Boys" and "All the Light We Cannot See". I just ordered the complete "Anne of Green Gables" series, for the first time I will have my own Anne Shirley books! It's a series that I've read every summer since I think sophomore year of high school. The little things, like the walks I take with my family, the games I play with my family, and the music I learn are what the true essence of summer is all about. Life at its core is about relationship, and that is what this summer has been about. Waking up and knowing I have all day at home is an incredible feeling. I hope that you experience this for yourself this summer :)
