humph

I am having one of those days where no matter how deep of a breath I take, I don't feel like I can breath. Do you ever have that? You're not really sad, mad, upset, just a little bummed out. And you just can't put your finger on why....you just want to be wrapped up in a big hug and have them squeeze all that "humph" out of you.... Just a thought....

Summer

I love summer! love love love love it! I tend to get this way when the seasons truely change ( not like the fake change, where it's warm for like a week and then it snows...) and you're wrapped up in the middle of something new and wonderful. Well I'm there folks...drenched in the smell of freshly cut grass, sounds of sprinklers and crickets,  kids with side walk chalk, freckled kissed noses and shoulders, sleeping with the windows open, bonfires, smores, fishing, staying up WAY too late because you refuse to let the moment you are in pass you by and being ok with rolling out of bed, jumping into "work clothes" and not caring the tinnest bit that you have no make up on because EVERYONE looks better during the summer. The feeling of sticky hands and face after you dive into the best piece of watermelon you swear you've ever had, holding your breath and closing your eyes as tight as you possibly can while you spray your face with bug spray because even though the bugs are thick by the pond, you're not going to let that drive you away.
There's something that happens to the soul when you let the land of grown ups slip away and you choose to stay in a Never-Neverland of summer bliss. You know that place...that place where you forget how old you are, or what you have going on the next day and you just LIVE...you don't balance, or juggle, or budget, you just let loose and breath. So my dear friends...go out and breath in all that summer goodness...because i know that's what I'll be doing :)
