I have to admit, typically I am a fall obsessed girl. Not this year, though. I have probably been craving summer since probably February. Now, that I can see my school year start date on the calendar so soon I don't want it to end!
This summer has been so necessary for me personally, it has also been a lot of fun. There has been a lot of transition for me with moving to a new apartment, and learning a lot of little life lessons that Jesus and I have been working on. This summer I have also decided to set the to do list aside for what is really important. I want my actions to reflect my words. If I am going to be true to that it means calling my loved ones, setting up friend dates, exploring my new neighborhood, being outside in the sunshine, and truly celebrating this life.
Summer has been my opportunity to reflect on what is important and incorporate that in my life. With a few more weeks of summer I am determined to make the most of it. I also want to bring a little bit of my summertime self with me to my school year. The to - do list will always be there but the experiences, the daylight late at night, the outdoor yoga, the flowers, those things end up fading with winter. Not this year.
Summer you are slowly becoming my new favorite because of all the life changing lessons you have taught me. You have brought me closer to friends. You have given me sun kissed skin and lighter hair. You have given me lots of much needed rest. You have warmed my heart and soul. You have taught me to explore, to cherish life, and to slow down.
Cheers to celebrating summer and making the most of it.
