End of July 2021: Languishing

This is the seventh of these reflections, which feels like the right amount, I suppose. Using a lot of commas in this one; somehow it feels right for this time of year. The days are long and they drag on and on and slip into other days. The heat never really seems to leave, even when the temperature drops. You can smell rotting blackberries from almost anywhere.

Maybe that’s just me. And maybe that’s just the Northwest this time of year. I really do love the end of summer because it feels like something is on the horizon. We are kind of forced to transition as the weather turns. For now, we should just enjoy feeling stationary, though.

In this month, the colors of this blog are reminding me of pink lemonade. They finally seem fitting and intentional instead of just hopeful and optimistic.

Things will happen and there are things to look forward to. I hope you are staying cool and drinking good drinks and really making the most of it. And happy birthday Rebecca!
