Summer Blues

sai-kiran-anagani-209542-unsplashWhat’s going on with this summer’s weather? It rains more often than I can remember. If it’s not raining, we’re experiencing 90 degrees hot, humid, and sticky summer days.

I think I have the summer blues…

I wish I can say I’m motivated to go hang out on the beach. But clearly, I don’t want to shake and bake in the hot sun. Frankly, I have more than enough color.

This is the first year I literally don’t feel like going on vacation. I love to travel. It’s just one of my passions. But my life has been going through a lot more downs than ups lately.

I recently suffered the loss of my mother. It’s been a huge downer and changes your appetite for a long time.

They say “time heals all wounds.” I hope so because my mom was my best friend and a praying woman. God has taken her home. I know she is at peace. The memories we shared will forever be imprinted in my heart.

So my husband and I have been doing odd  jobs around the house which never gets finished. I guess we watched too much HGTV. I’m so tired and ready to push it aside so I can get some fresh air. I don’t want to see another can of paint any time soon.

Therefore we decided to kick back and go on day trips near home. Our first stop will be a long ride to Rochester, New York to visit my husband’s college buddies. YEAH! Sounds like fun.🤔

When life is pulling you in different directions, going somewhere, anywhere to change the scenery may not be such a bad idea.🤗

We are now approaching the end of July.  Summer will be over in a very short time.

Will I continue to let my mood defeat me?

I might act impulsively and do something else on the spur of the moment.🤗

I am so disappointed I have done absolutely nothing, not even turn on the grill. But it’s not over until it’s over.

Stay tuned as I ponder my next move…

 

 

 

 

MEMORIES

Pictures in decorative boxes

stored away in closets for years

Photo albums collecting dust as they sit on tables and shelves

Some are tucked away in storage bins, in attics, and in basements

This morning, I rummaged through the photos

scattered all over the floor

Glimpses of another time and place Continue reading “MEMORIES”

FOOLISH DREAMER

change

I may be just a foolish dreamer

but I don’t care

Cause I know my happiness is waiting

out there somewhere

I’m searching for that silver lining

Horizons that I’ve never seen

Oh, I’d like to take just a moment

And dream my dreams, oh dream my dream Continue reading “FOOLISH DREAMER”
