Savoring the summer


This is the time of year when I notice the days getting shorter and stores promoting their back-to-school sales and I think to myself, “Where in the world did the summer go?”

I frequently find myself too busy to enjoy the simple things that summer has to offer. Unless I consciously focus on doing those things, they simply slip away into the land of lost opportunity. “Why didn’t I (fill in the blank) more often?”

This thought can also apply to the big-picture items of life. This particular summer will end with my youngest child going off to college. Where in the world did that time go?

The next few days I’ll post some photos that say, “Savor the summer.” In this one, a couple takes in the sunset at Eagle Harbor in Door County, Wisconsin.
