Summer Daze

 I haven't posted much of anything lately. I haven't had much to say. The summer hit me like a whirlwind. The kind you can see coming, you know it's going to happen, prepare everything you can in anticipating all that is involved with the coming of it, but no matter how much you prepare, you never are quite there. And when it hits, it sets you into a spin you have to just let go and twirl with. No use in fighting it because then it will just force you to surrender and wear you out in the struggle. Because it has hit me in such a sideswiping way...I am just barely beginning to get a handle on things. I'm sure you've had experiences like this. Sometimes no matter how much you want to do the things you're doing, there is just more going on than you can keep up with. This has been one of those months for me.  Then I saw this sitting on my night table from an anonymous giver:

 And everything stopped twirling. Just for a little while. It seemed to say in a quiet, peaceful, beautiful way-that "even though life is taking you for a spin, you are doing something right."
