Summertime

 

One of my summer goals is to simply enjoy summer. I plan to start school in the fall, and between work and school, I know my time is going to be highly in demand. On the work side of things, I’m trying to make all kinds of extra effort this summer so I can be ahead of the game when fall arrives, but on the home side of things, I’m doing my best to simply enjoy.

                I know that on the calendar, summer just arrived, and to be honest, it also just arrived on the heat index. But in the rhythm of life, I’ve been enjoying summer for a few weeks, and I keep intentionally pausing to be grateful for the simple sweetness of the days.

 I’ve savored our walks and conversations.

I’ve appreciated the sunset cruises on the pontoon.

I soaked up every moment of our vacation and the hikes we enjoyed.

Snacks and coffee on the patio? Yes please.

The flowers have been extra pretty this year, and I just can’t get enough of them!

 Walking downtown for ice cream was fun!

 Sunsets, sunsets, sunsets!

                I’m looking forward to more of these simple moments. Summertime is made for slowness and savoring! How about you? What summertime goodness have you enjoyed lately?
