For some of us, the summer season is approaching. Warmer days, longer sunlight, school lets out, and vacations are taken. This is a season of opportunities.
Opportunity to take a long-needed break. Opportunity to learn a new skill. Opportunity to visit someplace new. Opportunity to make new friends. Opportunity to establish good habits.
I have fond memories of summer vacations as a child. I have always been a bookworm and would return to the school year delighted that I had read all the books on the summer reading list.
I remember trips to the beach and to our local swimming pool. I remember playing kickball at day camp. I was not such as fan of the sports we played as I was of the arts and crafts.
I fondly remember piano recitals during the summer and outdoor concerts and outdoor theatre. Summer was a time to visit museums and zoos.
As I grew into adulthood, my enjoyment of the summer never waned. Even when I worked full time during the season, I still found that the rhythm of life seemed to slow down a bit.
During the summers I have learned many new things that have carried over into the rest of the year. This summer, I am learning a new language, a new exercise discipline, and coding. Summers for me have becoming the careful balance between work and rest.
How will you enjoy your summer season?
