I spent the first 2 weeks of summer gypsying around, spending time with friends and family. I've had some great times and wonderful, fun experiences. Here are some "wordbytes," if you will...
...Reading a 400-page book during a lazy, rainy day...
...Watching Natalie and Emma share a towel and eat potato chips on a perfect day at the beach...
...Sailing for the first time ever...
...Spending a full week with my mom...
...Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live...
...Sumptuous dinners in Canandaigua...
...Getting hit on by a redneck at a car race...
...Running around a reservoir and down a tree-lined path...
...Now that I've settled back down from my travels, it's time for another adventure! Destination: Long Beach Island, NJ. I'm sure I'll have some blog-worthy stories to share upon my return...
...Lately, it feels like there has been a ripening of my soul, like delicious piece of fruit. Is this happiness? In the back of my mind, there's always a voice warning me to expect misfortune and bad luck. And I'm sure some adversity is bound to happen at some time or other. But please, let me enjoy the warm sun on my skin and life ripening before my eyes. Ah, summer...
Nice...I love that line, that ripening...it is happiness, enjoy it, it is not a permanent state, it comes and it goes and that is part of what makes it so wonderful.
