Enjoy Summer

As this weekend marks the start of the summer I thought I would share an excerpt I read in Journey to the Heart.
Learn to enjoy summer, that wonderful warm time when everything is in full bloom. Summer isn't forever, but don't ruin it by fussing. Forget about the winter just past, the autumn that lies ahead. Immerse yourself in the good times, the fullness of summertime. We may have gotten so used to other times, the colder times, that we've forgotten how to enjoy the sun, the warmth, the play times. The good times. Each moment of our lives is important. Each moment of our lives is a spiritual experience. To live fully in joy, we need to learn to enjoy the good times as well as weather the storms. Most of use are proficient at hunkering down and getting through the winters of our lives. Now it's time to learn something different. Take off your heavy wrap. Grab your straw hat and go bask in the sun. Tomorrow's lessons will take care of themselves. Today the lesson is learning to enjoy summer!

Read into the excerpt as you like, but I thought it was very suiting...as I find when summer has arrived there is a different kind of energy that people give off and it's so great to start fresh in this new season! This weekend for me is all about celebrating my amazing friendships! Last night Jodie & Matt had a BBQ with a couple friends, tonight Dave & Sarah are having a house warming party, tomorrow night is Josie's Bachlorette party in NOTL, and Sunday is Angela's baby Shower! Yay for the summer! (Also the summer means Andrew is coming home soon!)
