The summer has flown by, hasn't it? As my youngest and I sit out on the porch swing quietly soaking in the sights and sounds of a laid-back, steamy August evening, I realize how quickly this long-awaited break from the school year is drawing to a close. It seems like we'd just barely settled into summer when (gasp!) school supplies once again began their triumphant march across the isles of Walmart and Target. All too soon, these quiet, relaxed evenings serenaded by crickets and tree frogs and the soft echo of Jimmy Buffet tunes drifting across the gorgeous moonlit lake, will be but distant memories. Yes, the hustle and bustle of car-pooling and sports events and marching band rehearsals etc., etc., etc., will be upon us once again and we'll be struggling to come up for air. So, tonight as my son and I gaze up at the sky full of stars, I pull him in close and remind myself how important it is to stop and really breathe in these precious, stolen moments with my kiddos before life jumps back into full swing. Ah, sweet, sweet summer, oh how you will be missed...
Thanks for sharing a minute of your day with me. Make sure and grab some time to relax and enjoy the rest of summer before it's gone! Fall is just around the corner...
Cheers! : )
