Summer is a fun time around our house. The month of June is our busiest of the entire year, because of all the birthdays, anniversaries, and special days that we need to celebrate. It gets pretty hectic at times, but we always manage to get through it.This year is no exception. From yard sales, to dinners with friends, and birthday parties to plan, it’s one thing after another every weekend. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Especially now, it feels like we’re finally in a place where things happen because they were meant to, and people are wandering into our lives at the exact moment that they need to. I’m starting to think about writing my book again, and it’s because of everything that’s going on. And the conversations that I’ve been having about books I’ve been meaning to read for years has fueled my own imagination to wander into my fantasy world where anything can and is possible.

Summer is warm, and you can linger for a while on a porch with a glass of wine, or a beer, and look at all that has come before and what has yet to come. I know that there is much to be grateful for in my own life, even if some of it has been confusing and not what I wanted at the time. But it’s all evened out, and I’m at the place now where anything can happen, and I’m okay with it. I don’t worry about what will come, because if it happens, it’s meant to happen. If I do anything at all with my life, it’s because it’s supposed to be that way. I have dreams and goals that I want to accomplish, but for the summer, I just want to flow along with the tide, and see how things settle out. I have hope that there are many great things to come, as long as I am patient. I will have time for everything I want to do. And everything I want to do will happen, when it’s right.
