Summertime always seems to pass by in a blink of an eye. The long, lazy days filled with warmth and sunshine are ephemeral, leaving behind cherished memories of sea escapades, yoga on the hill, and lively friends and family gatherings. But as the seasons change and the days become shorter, I find myself eagerly looking forward to the enchanting colors of autumn and the adventures it brings. As I reflect on the past summer and anticipate the beauty of autumn, I am filled with a sense of gratitude for the precious moments spent with my family and friends.
The Fleeting Moments of Summer:
Summer is a season filled with laughter, joy, and relaxation. It beckons us to take a break from our routines and embrace the carefree spirit it brings. I took 6 whole weeks off from work and boy did I enjoy it. Whether it was dressing Dirk for another Kerrera wedding, exploring new trails on the island, painting shells with Mc and Dave, learning to shuck scallops (Thanks to Pedro) or simply savoring a melting ice cream cone, it was quite simply a blast! Summer encourages me to find delight in the present moment and savour time with friends. However, as the days slowly begin to shorten, I realise that summer flits away like the breeze, leaving us with a sense of wistfulness as we bid farewell to the sun-kissed days.
Anticipation for the Colors of Autumn:
Yet, just as summer slips away, autumn emerges, greeting us with a new kind of magic. The transition from summer to fall is a remarkable spectacle, as nature transforms its vibrant green cloak into a mélange of warm hues. The crimsons, golds, and oranges paint the world around us, breathing life into the surroundings and filling our hearts with a renewed sense of wonder. The changing colors of autumn serve as a gentle reminder of the impermanence of life – a reminder to cherish the fleeting moments of beauty that surround us.
As I anticipate the arrival of autumn, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for the family and friends adventures that summer has gifted me. Those lazy afternoons spent idly chatting with loved ones, embarking on days on the sea just for fun, splashing about on paddle boards and sharing hearty meals together hold a special place in my heart. These collective experiences have woven an intricate tapestry of memories, forming the foundation of unbreakable bonds and creating stories that will be cherished for years to come.
Who would of thought I would have shared a paddle board with my cuz, magical summer moment. We were both sup virgins and we both stood up, well up until the very end!!! Not to mention doing a bit of sup yoga and Gary nailing a headstand. What a fabulous summer it's been!
Thank you for the summer of 2023 xxxx
