You know what makes this girl happy?
Cooler temps. It has been a long, hot summer and I am over it.
I’m over the sweat and the humidity and the frizzy hair.
The boys walked out the back door this morning in their shirt sleeves and shorts yelling, “It’s freezing!” as they ran to the car.
In reality the thermometer had made it to the mid-50s and it felt wonderful.
Oh, the heat’s coming back over the next few weeks. But a nip in the air, a reminder of what’s coming…I’ll take it.
The grocery store had canned pumpkin marked as a seasonal item for 89 cents each.
Yes, it’ll be warm enough this weekend to fire up the grill. But a taste of what lies ahead, yes please.
Life sometimes clings like the dog days of summer.
Burning out from the struggle of a season.
Sweating it out waiting patiently for a change to come.
Feeling the heat from work, marriage, finances, life.
Hold on. Keep the faith. Look up.
Relief is on the way.
