Sunday Thoughts On Summer

Summer is here, and it's glorious even though it's really, really hot in Texas. Hotter than usual.

I don't care. I'll always take summer over winter.

Summer is the season for gardening, beaches, vacations, family gatherings, fun, beach books, and relaxation.

Here are some favorite quotes about these summer activities.

Sunday Thoughts on Summer

Gardening: To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. —Audrey Hepburn

Beaches: Soak up the sun. Ride the waves. Breathe the salty air. Feel the breeze. Build sandcastles. Rest, relax, reflect. Collect seashells. Bare-feet required. —Unknown

Vacations: "A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in." – Robert Orben

Family Gatherings: "You go through life wondering what it’s all about. But at the end of the day it’s all about family." – Rod Stewart

Fun: "It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine it's summertime!" —Kenny Chesney

Beach Books: "What I want in a good beach read is sunshine, drama, easy-reading and transportation to another world and other people’s problems." – Jane Green

Relaxation: "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." — John Lubbock

Takeaway Truth

I rhink the perfect description of summer is what Ada Louise Huxtable said:

"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."
