Without a doubt summer has definitely arrived. While watching the national weather report, it was interesting to see that nearly two thirds of the the country is blanketed in a pre-summer swelter of 90 plus degree temperatures. The sad reality is that summer officially begins in roughly two weeks. The summer is not my favorite season, however my birthday falls smack between Independence Day and Labor Day. Go Leos!
For many, summer is a time to slow down from the norm. Traditional ten month schools take a break. Teachers recharge their batteries and students, do what students do during the summer, nothing. Most corporate and government employees schedule their much needed vacations with family during the summer months. However in the South, the summer heat can just be unchristianly intolerable, so for the most part, many of us find ourselves doing indoor activities as we try to beat the heat.
I want to encourage you to utilize the slower pace of the summer time to do things that you rarely have time to do from September to May. Cherish and embrace the summer. Amusement parks prime season is summer. Jump on a roller coaster, my personal favorite is the Shock Wave at King's Dominion. Enjoy the taste of summer, fresh peaches, watermelons, strawberries and corn are all in abundance during this time. These are only available in the summer. If you like fishing, go fish! Here in North Carolina, we have a plethora of beaches. I love beaches and mountains. But most importantly, check in with yourself, friends and family. "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine."
Peace,
Karsten
