For as long as I can remember what summer was like, I hated summer. Not 'cause of the heat. I love heat. But something bad always happened. Losing my dog. The divorce. My grandmother passing. Some boy ruining something. Some idiot from Upward Bound. Something. I've hated summer and never knew a summer that didn't leave me feeling awful about my situation and ready to move on.
Until this one. Seriously, I loved this summer. I found out a lot about myself and did so much. The whole self-improvement plan wasn't so great. Fairly certain I gained weight. There's no real change in my complexion. My hair is as dead as it's always been. But that's not the part that improved. I improved. I took steps to be a better person. And I have never felt closer to God. My spiritual life is exactly where I need it to be right now, and that feels so good you can't even imagine. I made sure that mentally and emotionally, I was heard. And in those two areas, I feel very healthy. It's such a wonderful feeling! And I have all the awesome people who spent this summer with me to thank.
I wrote letters. I saw the 1975. I watched the World Cup. I helped with Vacation Bible School. I went on my church retreat. I went to California. I saw 30 Seconds to Mars. And I spent copious amounts of time with people I love. I am a very lucky girl.
Ending the summer with Karla & Cristina is a plus. My niece was actually excited to see me. It melted my heart. I'm so glad for the time I spent at home. Now, off to new things!
