Summertime is hustle time. There is so much to do and get done. Go, go, go. Everything is moving…and fast. Sometimes it’s exhausting. It’s all just too much.

It reminds me how important it is to slow down. Not just important, but how exquisitely luxurious it can be.

I wrote this while we were on a short vacation back in April.

Birds sweeping and chattering
Sun hanging low in a bright blue sky
Ants crawling aimlessly it seems
In the early morning
With warm tea on the front porch.

Sigh
