A Seasonal Slowing Down

Hello Friends,
Happy Friday
I have to confess, I had no idea what to write to you all about today. Summer slow down has me in its grips and my brain is a blank page.
I don’t think it’s just me; my daughter announced yesterday that “school is so boring now. They’re not doing anything.” Just waiting. Counting down the days until term finishes and they are set free for those interminable six weeks of holiday. At least I recall that’s how it felt when I was 13. At 45, and a mother, those six weeks still feel long but in a completely different way.
Summer, like winter is a slow-down season. Nature is doing it. We feel called to do it — but modern life often has us fighting it.
Can we just lean into it being July — fully embrace it?
The nostalgic background noise of Wimbledon; the thwack-thud-thwack rhythm of play, punctuated by the murmur of applause.
The familiar caress of a warm breeze through wide open windows (especially welcome after its absence the past couple of summers).
The trees, fields, and hedgerows; all mellowing into shades of gold.
Summer is short here in the UK, I’m leaning into the chill. I hope you can too.
Until next week.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
