A new routine begins this morning. School is out The baseball playing is done. Now Grandma leaves in the morning to go to the Grand kids house. It's a different schedule altogether. A bit unsettling. Changes are always unsettling. I get so comfortable in a routine. A creature of habit to be sure. But change is a good thing. Change invites growth. An opportunity to learn something new or do something different. That's probably why we have kids and grand kids. To keep things shook up. Guess it would get a little boring without them.
The weather has changed these past few mornings as well. Got cool again. In the fifties this morning. That change is confusing my body a little bit. I was adjusting to temps in the eighties and low nineties and now ,bam, back to fifties and sixties ! Also picked up a bit of a cold along the way. Coughing and runny nose. I hate being sickly. And working in public people will look at you with suspicion each time I cough. What's wrong with him ? Is he contagious ? It is all such an annoyance.
Yes, the grass cutting has begun. The outdoor chores have begun for another season. I'll be staying up a little bit longer in the evening. Hard to go to bed when it is light outside. Funny how I still get up at the same time though. All that means is a little less sleep and a little more activity. Trying to remain positive, that isn't a bad combination. Work off some of that winter fat.
Yes, with the closing of the school the summer has begun. Holidays notwithstanding,when you have children or grandchildren that one event is the marker. That is the game changer. I'm looking forward to another wonderful summer. We will get to enjoy a cookout or two,some fishing perhaps and maybe a camping trip thrown in. It'll all be over before long. The summer of 2012. There will never be another.
