The Summer Feels

Summer is such a strange time, I feel, here in the UK.

My story/conditioning/history of summer is

A longing for the warmer days,

A fantasy of sun kissed skin, easy breezy BBQs, floaty dresses, joy in everyone’s heart, dipping toes in salty seas, long days and nights by an outdoor fire.

My reality can sometimes be……………

It’s going too fast,

Must squeeze everything in,

Navigating work, childcare and presence with my child,

Is everyone having fun? Am I having fun?

Sore shoulders from taking too much stuff to the beach.

Panic “it’s nearly over”

What a waste.

It’s not all doom and gloom 😂

it’s this 👆 mixed with that beautiful fantasy, that’s the reality I am working with,

It’s becoming easier every year, softer and precious in different ways,

I don’t want to live with regret, or get drawn into the stress of others I feel around me,

I want a simple easeful summer.

I’m getting better at it!

How do you experience the build up, against the reality of summer ?

Can you find some ease in these next few weeks?

Lots of love
