Summer

Merry-Go-Round Fun

Where has the summer gone... It is the end of August and school is right around the corner. School shopping, doctor forms, extracurricular activities sign ups are all in full force. It makes me long for the first week of summer vacation with endless possibilities and opportunities of care free fun. Beach days, hours at the park, fun adventures and especially quality time with family and friends that I wish could last a little longer.  And though I do love the fall, the crisp air and the beauty of the changing leaves...( and I am always a sucker for new school supplies), I want to hold onto these last few days of summer with love and gratitude. How often we rush onto the new task without even saying goodbye or so long to the season at hand. I am all for change and progress but I also want to live with a deeper sense of gratitude of the things I do have right in front of me rather than just keep longing for more.
I could cry to think that my girls will never be this age again and that they are growing up by the minute. This time is so precious and so short, I just need to remind myself to take the time to notice the little things, slow down and enjoy the ride!

Love and Peace,

Anny
