Like A Turtle

My family visited and my Mom tells me I am healing slowly like a turtle walks a long distance. I had never thought of it that way, but she is very right. At least I amhealing even if it is very slowly.

Summer will start on the 21st of June, and I want to get up before the sun, so I can watch the sun rise on the first day of summer. To see the light break over the horison, and the dark of night give way to the light of dawn. To hear the birds wake up and start their morning songs. I have not been awake before the sun comes up since my children were very small babies, and even then I was cleaing dirty bottoms not enjoying the moment and this seems like a good enough reason to be a part of the sunrise. What a wonderful time to pray and hear myself breath!
Summer is its own holiday even if everyone does not have a school break for it. Kids running in water on the lawn and all of the relaxed things that happen. If nothing else no matter how busy you are give your self time to stop and think of what summers past have ment to you. No matter how slow or fast the rest of your life ends up going. Make sure to enjoy the moment because there will be Christmas stuff in all of the stores as quick as you can blink!
