Summer Love.

Today I stepped outside and realized something: It's getting really hot outside! This time of year is so exciting to me. It brings back so many memories of summer vacation. Spending every day in my bathing suite. Eating sandwiches on the beach. Not brushing my hair {heh, some things never change!}. I love the water and I feel so drawn to it, especially when it's so bright and warm outside. It is so tempting to call in sick and spend the entire day at the river. Doing nothing, except daydreaming and sunbathing. Which is actually something. I love getting really, really hot and then jumping into the cold water. It's such an adrenaline rush! Smelling cookouts in the distance and sipping a cold beer... pretending there isn't anything else I should be doing. But once in a while, this is exactly what I should be doing.

Remember to always enjoy the sunshine. And to take a moment {or a day} to relax. really relax. Forget  about your job. Your reality. The "Real World". If you need to, take a personal day and spend it sleeping in or catching up on a great book. Spend time with nature. Spend it with family. Girlfriends. Boyfriends. Or ... spend the day with the most important person in the entire world: yourself.
