Summer is just around the corner. End of school. End of band/piano and sports (for us). An easier time of no schedules. No hurrying. It’s a time of relaxation. There’s just something about summer…..   “Summer, Summer, Summertime! Time to sit back and unwind….” Will Smith. You get me.

Below is a list of things that make me glad it’s summer time!

• No schedules. We have no practices of any kind. Woo Hoo!
• No school = No homework. YES!!
• No setting the alarm clock. (I’m very lucky to be a SAHM.)
• Swimming.
• Red, White & Blue.
• Shady trees & breezes.
• Day trips.
• Family vacation.
• Late nights.
• Lightning bugs.
• A slower state of mind.
• Cooking out on the grill (because hubs grills, momma does not).          
• Fireworks. (Love the loud Boomers!)
• Flip flops and shorts.
• Sitting outside. (but thankful for AC on the inside!)
• Picnics.
• Corn on the Cob….Mmmmm, with LOTS-O  butter!!
• Kids playing in the rain.
• Thunderstorms (but not at bedtime!).
• All around relaxing feeling.

Summer is my fave season. The hot beats out the cold. I try to complain a little less about hot weather because I always complain about the cold!! In PA, you can have more than one season in a week!!

Sit back, relax. Grab a cool beverage. And list some things that make you happy about summer. It’s a good time to look around and notice the little things. Just a little reminder. Slow down. Be happy.

Do you have happy things to add to the summer list? What would you share? I like the warmer weather… but do not like to sweat!! Ha!

Until next time….
