Summer Mondays are the best.
It is summertime in my house and the living is easy!
It's almost too easy.
I am a little bored.
Boredom has been slowly creeping into my life year by year as my children are getting older.
I am in the early retirement stage of my motherhood, this realization is both exhilarating and terrifying.
I am caught in this weird holding pattern where my youngest is needing me less and less and yet when she needs me, she needs me.
Somedays I feel so stinkin' lazy but mostly I really try to enjoy this time. Life wasn't always so sweet. This aging mama has seen and lived A LOT! And, this aging Mama still has a lot to see and live and it won't always be smooth sailing like this.
So, as I sit here on my back porch watching my youngest swim and waiting for my hard working husband to get home, I have to remind myself to soak it all up and simply give thanks!
This time in my life is a blessing from God. I spent so much of my earlier life wishing the days away, waiting and wanting for more. I don't want to do that anymore. The days are too precious. I really want to learn to live in the present and be mindful about it. So easy to say and yet for some reason so hard to do.
ALL days are precious and fleeting.
But at this very moment I am thinking that "Summer Mondays are the best"!
