Don’t count summer out yet

As you count down these last days of summer, do nothing.

Don’t worry that it’s almost over, or reflect that it should have been different.

Don’t schedule more or structure more, just be here for it.

Light, warmth, beauty, longer days.

Getting messy, getting wet, walking around barefoot.

Smiling, playing, sitting, relaxing.

Do nothing but take it in.

This is summer.
