Sitting outside doing nothing, with absolutely no plan, no itinerary is just as important as getting things done. Sounds of nature, if you’re lucky, birds, waves, crackling fires, the wind, just being. That is my meditation, just being in the moment, listening to all the sounds. Of course some people might get to hear, machinery, traffic, voices, but you can work with it. It will be what I miss when the weather changes. I am outside most of the day, especially for my first coffee, just sitting. August always makes me think about the end of summer, I got in almost a week this year, before my thoughts started shifting there. I would be the first one to hype up others that the month has thirty one days and far from over.
How to carry the summer vibes for as long as possible? For one, summer isn’t over until September twenty first. It is followed by Fall, which is, let’s be real, who doesn’t enjoy sweater weather, not parka, sweater! Get up and meet everyday of summer, do something that can only be done in the summer. To really relish the season you need to enjoy it. BBQ, beach, no shoes, day trips on uncovered roads, find waterfalls and hike. Take lots of pictures of the season, get outdoors! Memories with pictures is a way to visit everyday! Write down a quick list of things to do before it is over.
One thing about summer, it doesn’t cost to do things outside. Teach your kids that too, it’s not all about going places that charge admission. Summer is freedom and slow down and relax time. Show them that too. Much to often people run through their summer. Every day you have off doesn’t have to be filled. Regardless of the season, enjoy your days, filled or otherwise. Today I am drinking my coffee, I am going to walk the ocean floor when the tide goes out, look for sand dollars and starfish. Enjoy your summer day friends!
