Summer Musings

Sailing into summer creates a shift from the daily grind to a dedicated awareness to embrace relaxation and leisure joys! School is out, vacations begin, and we downshift to a slower pace of life. What are your favorite summer pastimes? My first response is picnics with watermelon and corn on the cob, plunging into any body of water available ( swimming pool, creeks, lakes, rivers, ocean), stargazing on a blanket in the grass, camping with roasted marshmallows over an open fire, listening to an outdoor concert with a glass of wine, grilling out with family and friends, biking along a rails to trails path, and hiking to a mountain top to gaze for miles. If we take the time to stop our frenetic pace in life, simple pleasures are often the most rewarding, most memorable, and most rejuvenating, and also free. Create a summer memory to feed your soul!
