Summer summer summer summer summer

We have been so enjoying this warm weather and time off. I have recently been feeling so positive and just... Friendly. I want to catch up with all my friends and be outside all day. I've actually been feeling a bit like a little kid again. It's such a nice time.
Today I spent some time with a dear friend of mine who I hadnt seen in far too long. I was reminded to be joyful and have faith, and to work hard. I
It's interesting to me how I learn about myself through each chapter in my life, and I often think how I could have used that self awareness in past experiences. Isn't that the way it happens though? And I wouldn't change a bit of my life. No, not anything. Because it has all brought me here, to this sunny, breezy day. And I have the health and sense to enjoy it, which I think is really the goal ultimately. To enjoy, absorb the right now.
I have been reminded a lot this past week to love. I am sure that's where the positivity and joy have originated from. It's so very easy to get caught up in anger over things of no matter, senseless worry, and hatred against perfect strangers and even family. Dislike, bitterness, fear, offense. It's just not the way to spend a life. And this week I've chosen to fight it. To love instead and without condition. What peace it brings!

In the midst of such philosophical things, we are also staying busy- Seth with work and I with walks, house cleaning, visiting, re reading Harry, watching Khloe and Lamar, sunning out on our patio, and taking long baths. Oh I'm looking for a job too. :)
Have I mentioned my love for summer?

love after love

The time will come when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say
sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger
who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life...

Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs,
the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit.
Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott
