Summer’s End

Though Fall is upon us and Summer is nearing an end, my body craves more of that old familiar time – Vacation Hours.
There weren’t enough camping trips; not nearly enough hikes; the kayak tasting watery strokes were meager.

The family dynamic keeps changing with children’s lives always experiencing some turmoil.
I’m grateful when I can find a moment or two of peace for myself.

The loss of two dear loved ones this summer – Gay & Keith – keep my heart a little sad and desperate for loving relationships.
Both meant so much to me; both have touched my life for good; both brought happiness to my soul.

A normal ending to summer is usually marked by Fall’s responsibilities. This year seems to be no different. 
The only thing that has changed is my perspective.

I thought I wouldn’t be teaching again – I am.
I thought I wouldn’t take a course (too busy) – I am.
I thought I’d be in a serious and committed relationship – I am not.
I thought I’d be saving more and spending less – RIGHT..what was I thinking!

Regardless of all the Fall 2014 thoughts, the summer’s end marks a new beginning. It’s not as planned..but it still might turn out right by the end of the year. 🙂 One can only hope!

Spending time..

My favorite ways to spend time during the summer…

Reading a good book…
Listening to good music…
Talking with someone I love…
Kayaking across Causey Dam…
Falling in love…
Hiking mountain trails…
Running the streets of Ogden after dusk…
Enjoying a cool glass of ice water..
Writing an email to a close friend…
Riding the rides at Lagoon…
Camping…
wading in the Ogden River with my son and granddaughters…
wearing a swimming suit all day every day…
and…

Reading all night long in a sleeping bag with a flashlight and a paperback or on my Kindle!
