press pause

As you can tell, I have not posted in a few weeks. I honestly have no idea where the weeks have gone since my last post. I love to keep busy, but I feel like I am missing out on summer. It is not even the start of summer, and I feel like the season is practically over! Luckily, starting next week I will be able to sit at the pool most days (with work), and go to the beach on the weekends. I am excited for my summer to finally begin! For those of you who work 9-5 office jobs, I hope you can enjoy summer as well. And not just on the weekends!

The other day, my brother had to wake up super early for work. He was not looking forward to it at all. I tried to cheer him up by saying he could always take a nap in the afternoon, when he got back from work. I am not sure what he is doing in college, but I know that when I was in undergrad, I majored in nap-time. Staying up late to finish homework, waking up early to get to class, and then coming back to take a small nap. Those thirty minutes were great. It was like a small break from everything. I am going to try to reinstate "nap-time" this summer to help myself enjoy this season.

Everyday, I want to try to take 30 minutes to do nothing. I don't plan on napping those thirty minutes, but I would love to do other things that make me happy. I will use the 30 minutes to read, tan, listen to music, write, organize my room, go for a walk, etc. All of these things are enjoyable (except organizing my room, but it will make me happy). These things will also force me to enjoy the great weather. And since I have a screened in porch, I can relax in it at night time, watching the fireflies outside. I hope you guys can take a break from your busy, everyday lives as well!
