~End of Summer~

This summer went by too fast.  I felt as if I didn't get enough time to relax, to get the things I wanted to do done, and go to the places I wanted to get to; such is life as you get older.  Summer used to feel like an eternity as a child, and it's most likely because I had the time to just be; that wasn't me this summer.  

This summer I went through an experience I will never forget. I learned a lot about myself.  I realized what I thought I wanted and what I actually wanted were two different things.  Although I did not get the time I felt like I wanted, or needed, the learning experience is something I will treasure for years to come.

Am I sad that I only went to the beach twice?  Yes.  BUT that beats my record from last year!  Am I sad I wasn't really able to take a long vacation like everyone else? Yes.  BUT I got a little mini vacations this summer, and I was able to spend them with the person/people I really care about. I say it all the time, you have to find the silver lining in situations.  If you don't find the positives you'll only be miserable.

I'm looking forward to the fall months though; it's been TOO HOT.  I want to wrap myself in scarves and sweaters and not feel like I'm melting.

So sorry to see you go Summer, you are the season where I feel happy because the sun hits my skin and I can be outside for long periods of time, but I can't wait for the transition, I cannot wait for Autumn.
