Lazy Days of Summer

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~Sam Keen
I love this quote! Saw this and it just made me feel better! I so want to be lazy right now. Is that a bad thing? In fact, the day before I saw this quote I didn’t want to get out of bed. I was happy, wasn’t like I didn’t want to face the world, I just was comfortable right where I was at! It was a Sunday so I could have stayed in bed, but I was feeling a little guilty about it I have to admit. So, I did some writing from the comfort of my bed and proceeded to get showered and dressed around oh… noon? Then I ran some errands with my daughter and we went to lunch, other than that we didn’t do too much. In fact, that evening, we all watched a movie on TV and ate pizza together, we all were feeling a little bit lazy I think. It was nice. I have been busy this summer and I have actually gotten some important things done, I had to… with our daughter going off to college and all. That stuff can get really overwhelming. There is always things to do, projects to start but what I really want to do this summer is play! I am having a good mix of work, personal work and play so far, so I’m not AT ALL complaining, just recognizing with a little wishful thinking thrown in. Life is good and I am very thankful.
Remember when summertime meant just playing? Hanging out with friends, going from house to house. We used to take turns having kickball games in each other’s yard, it was the one (and only) sport I was good at. I could kick! We played Red Rover, Red Rover… and all sorts of fun games on those warm summer nights.
I hope everyone is having a great summer and gets a chance to play a silly game or just be lazy, after all it is respectable during the summer.
This picture was taken of the four of us in Key West, I don’t have the year on me (I’m writing while in a hotel room in Kansas City, I’m traveling for work). I don’t have the date of the picture with me, but an estimate would be that this picture was taken about 12 years ago. We went camping in the Florida Keys with friends. A great summer memory!
Love & Peace,
Kim

I love the notion of lazy summer days- we’ve done our fair share of Redbox movie rentals and pillows piled onto the floor- probably too much convenience food, but who can stand to heat up the kitchen cooking! I love the picture of your family from years past, I especially love the Keys, my husband proposed there!

Thank you Amelia. What a wonderful place to propose! Love the keys too. You are so right, it is too hot to be in the kitchen. Sometimes the best memories are from lazy days with the family! Love it when that happens.
