Summer Time
Seasons Change
Is it here, can it be? Every morning, as the months pass, it stays around just a little bit longer. Until finally it stays for a short lived, well needed 3 beautiful months. Its summer time! It is my favorite season of the year. From the time I could say sunshine, up until this very day, summer time is my time of healing! Its what seems to get me through the entire year. It is the one thing that even through the years of growing up, and now with kids of my own, and college and jobs, I slow to cherish every moment of the most beautiful time of the year. My days start with huge smiles from the vast rays of sun touching my face through the cracks in my blinds every morning. Just as the seasons change all year around, my life changes in many ways too. All through the years, so many things have become different. I now have two kids on my own, and currently in the middle of a divorce. I struggle as a single mother to fit in time for the fun things. I shuffle kids to daycare centers and to family that helps. I push myself through work and school, wishing summer time would just get here. Each day that passes with the gloomy clouds that linger above and the rain that soaks my hair as I frantically make it from one deadline to another, I wonder, will I survive another day of the gloomy routine I have come to live.
Once that sun comes out to stay, I find all the time in the world to be outside with the aroma of barbeque burgers and potato salad. My mouth waters as I sip cool ice tea while the kiddos splash in the cool crisp water in the kiddie pool. The world has infinite possibilities when the sun sits high in the sky sharing its warmth with the world. No sound fills my heart with joy more than that of children running and laughing on a hot summer day.
When the weekend comes during the summer, the roads become open possibilities to new destinations to take my boys and explore. Exploring the wide open wilderness
