One of the things I want to do this year, is to continue writing. So, to begin my endless summer, I think back to the summers of my youth. Nothing special, as a matter of fact, they were rather lonely. We never went anywhere...my parents could not afford much. I spent my time reading, visiting friends, and lounging around. We never went to camps, or had weekend trips, as money was always a factor. I, in turn, became a reader, and always got lost on an adventure in one of my books.
This summer, I have plans. We are doing some remodeling of our house, and fixing up things. I don't know that we will travel, but that is ok. I want to invest the time and money in our home. After all, it is where we live, and defines us to some degree.
I also plan to read. I want to read as much as I did during my youthful summers. I want to lose myself in adventures that are exciting and rare. Reading can do that.
I hope to do some school work for next year, but not right away. I want to visit friends and family, and see if I can help 2 of my friends going through a rough time right now.
I want to pray more. God has been good to me, and I want to renew my relationship with him.
I want to enjoy my container garden. It is in that garden that new life happens, on a very small scale, and that in itself is peaceful.
Endless summer. It was was Beach Boys song, but it has so many possibilities. This year, I hope my summer is endless.
