summertime

August 5, 2012 § 2 Comments

The first reminders of the school year ahead have created an elevated consciousness of our dwindling days of unscheduled adventure.  The coming weeks are sprinkled with obligations, but the days and minutes surrounding our gradual return to the routine of our school year are filled with possibility. Rather than bemoan the structure of days ahead, I am trying to stand firmly in the twilight of our summer silliness. Day trips and weekend getaways tease away the tension as we itemize scavenged supplies stored safely in anticipation of this moment. A book in the shade, swimming in the sun, the company of friends, and a quiet moment to squander selfishly. I am gathering my minutes for memories.

    Yes, it is that time of year again. I have three children and I have been getting them ready to go back to school. It was always an exciting time for me when i was in school. Your post brings back fun memories.
