Oh, well hello there summer, hope you stay a while. Please.

It is no surprise at all that that this summer season has been off to a rather slow start.  I can remember worse but had hoped for better.  We have recently settled into a lovely heat warning streak.  I say lovely because in a few short months, this too shall be a memory. One thing that I have learned over the years is that balance is key.  Balance in every area of life.  I have a drive when I enjoy something to let it overcome my life. Whether it be physical activity, work, or time with friends.  I can let them all consume me.  Maybe I am not fit enough, maybe I haven't done all I can do for work, maybe I should be doing more with friends, will they still want to spend time with me if I don't... all and more of these thoughts have raced through my head and I am sure they will continue to because I am human.  What I have learned and continue to try and do is meet those thoughts with a non-judgmental attitude and to meet it with reality.  I play the tape through, I listen to what I need, or at least I try.  I hope one day that the thoughts will be so quiet that I don't need to work so hard at balance but until then, I will live life to enjoy when I can, to take in the moments and enjoy the visuals.  

In the depths of this heat, I can only hope to look back at these moments months from now saying take me back.  

Happy Sunday. 
​Cheers
