There was a time when I'd spent most of my idle times soaking up under the glare of the summer sun. My friends ans I would go to the nearby beach and stayed there up until the sun would set. During the day, I'd enjoy splashing in the burning salty sea waves and savor the freedom of swimming as much as possible with friends. We'd usually spent half of the day staring off into the horizon as our ultimate past time and simply watch and talk the people frolic on the shore.
i miss having the time to do that. I miss wearing my floral beach short and my super tight speedo trunk (LOL). Don't get me wrong; I LOVE MY JOB. It's just that being younger afforded me the freedom to chill out and quench the hot- weather summer to the max.
Nowadays, when the going gets tough and hectic, escapades and getaways come last on the list. It's okay to ignore the benefits of the well-deserved summer breaks especially if you're working far from your friends and a regular 5-day a week schedule.
The thing is, being too immersed in our daily grind stunts, inhibits us from seeing the bigger picture. It eats up our enthusiasm and failed us to chill the stress out for a while. What's good about summer is that, it reminds us of the importance of a little pampering, some lazy time and a little reflection.
on that note, I implore you to take a full lung expiration and think of your vacation, it's not yet over for a summer escapade..you deserve it!
