Closing in on Summer…

Winter days have us summer daydreaming (Wildwood, NJ Summer 2024)

Well, we’re slooowly inching towards the end of winter and what have we got to show for it besides dark days (and dispositions?) While all the “experts” tell us the best way to live is in the present moment, aren’t we about ready to live in the months-away summertime? I mean, the month of January alone lasted 200 days, amiright? 🥶🌨️Sure, mindfulness is meaningful but isn’t summer daydreaming deeper than the here and now is currently providing?

Future fantasizing aside, how can we make our present days more desirable (aside from an island vacation?) 🤔

Well, there’s still pretty scenery to be admired, the fresh, salty air seeping into our souls (let’s bundle up those bodies!), sure to awaken a sleepy beach and a tired spirit. There’s book clubs and boardwalk runs, indoor water aerobics (let’s get ready for beach days, people!) and drifting through a coastal winter wonderland, knowing these fleeting, frosty moments will lead us to extended sunlight and yes, eventually, summer.

Enjoy those movie marathons, fortifying soups and fireside moments, rest beneath an earlier twilight and keep warmer days to come at heart…❤️
