Summer Time

Summer is my jam. It's hard to imagine a life for me that doesn't have summers off from work and the opportunity to be free with time and commitments. This year, more so than past years, i ached for summer for so long. The long winter brought with it added stress and a restricted view of hope. When march brought the first bead of sweat to my forehead from the sun, i felt it - i felt life coming back! But spring's early cold and rough weather made for a bunker approach to the end of the year - try to protect and wait out with slight glimpses of summer hope. May 26th, last day of school, relief. Bring on the heat. Burn me - let me know I'm alive. Ahh, summer! It's so good to be here. To be on a schedule that allows for so much. To be with people that bring so much. Summer 2011, will be a summer i never forget.
