There are so many “magical” things about summer — gardens growing, evening swims, and of course dinner alfresco. I had a realization this week as we seemed to slow down and ease our way into this season. My son and I had walked to the mailbox, and as we entered the garage, he asked if we could play ball. My gut-reaction was “No.” I had planned on making dinner as soon as we returned. Then it occurred to me — we were on break! Dinner could be a little later, and 20 minutes of ball time was no big deal. In fact, we had a lot of fun! Of course, I probably could say yes during other seasons as well. But, it is so nice to say yes without the stress!
(p.s. Our garden is growing quite nicely!)
