A Few Days of Nothingness

Our family has moved into our lowest key days. Days of sunshine and fresh air. Warmth and togetherness. Collecting snail shells in frisbees and playing bags (cornhole) in the yard.

Days of sweet, sweet summer.

It’s a lazy season, but a full one.

Last week, another niece entered the world and, simultaneously, my dad had some health complications that landed him in the hospital too. (He’s seemingly fine now, and based on the many tests that followed, doesn’t have any symptoms of more serious conditions.)

Then it was off to Cincinnati, Chicago and Minneapolis for time with family, friends and colleagues before settling back into a day of pontooning and cousins and ice cream today.

I also started my first coaching course for aspiring writers. Who knew, huh?

With good stuff upon good stuff, I simply could not bring myself to set aside friends or sleep to log onto wordpress and get all bloggy inside away from the sunshine, but rest assured I’ll post a couple of the pieces I have been holding onto tomorrow.

Until then, I hope you’re soaking up some summer goodness of your own. Remember, it’s totally okay to shelve the serious every once in a while.
