Summer Love

The time between June 20 and August 5 is my absolute favorite in the year. It's the time the weather is the best (in the Northeast at least) and even on a stressful day life just seems a bit easier. We walk  more. We laugh more. We cook out almost every night. We enjoy the stars and the crickets from our deck.

This is a really great time to get moving. Try a new activity. Play outside with your kids. Chill out and let your body rest in a hammock. Get enough Vitamin D, but then wear some sunscreen. Laugh with your family and friends while playing a game of Baggo. Take a stroll on a beach. Celebrate the ebb n flow of the ocean while walking barefoot in the sand. Allow your feet to breathe from the oppression of shoes and allow them to feel the Earth below them a bit.

Summer is a time for rejuvenation. It prepares us for those long winter nights stuck inside watching the fire in the fireplace and catching up on Netflix.

Whatever your feeling about the hot weather, I hope you can embrace the happy feel of summer and know that the circle of seasons is just around the corner.
