Just read a sweet post a woman wrote about her new summer sandals, and I found myself squinting, and thinking hard. Summer sandals? Hasn't it been hot enough, long enough to allow for fall? Guess not. Must be I'm suffering from brain melt-down with the 90-100 degree weather we've already experienced. Enjoyed would be an inappropriate word for it.Summer officially starts on Monday. And it's HOT. As my husband would say---it's time---but still, it's hot. Have already begun watering my outdoor potted plants twice a day, and have lost my enthusiasm for housework (which always hits me when it's blazing outside), but have not gotten any summer projects started. Now I see that there's plenty of time because it's not even summer yet!
Honestly, I think I'm a bit rung out with fretting over my mom's health and her growing dependence on needing more help (I've had blinders on and hadn't seen the signs of her aging, I guess), and being preoccupied with 2 of our sons who're considering careers in the military, and facing my own life with insufficient sleep. It's a recipe for fretting.
Think instead I'll concentrate on having a wonderful summer. A good idea. :) God's got the rest all figured out, and I just need to focus on today, and that includes dancing tonight!
