Lately

Last summer, we were away six weekends in a row. This past spring, I decided that I would not repeat that again this year.

So far I have failed.

I feel like summer should be lazy, relaxing, reflective.

But there’s just so much going on. So much lazing, relaxing, and reflection to cram into a few short months. Family to visit. Friends to love. People close to us celebrating major life events. I wouldn’t miss celebrating and spending time with them for the world.

So, until the day when all the people I love all live in the same place I do, summer will probably be like this.

I think I’m okay with it.
