Hello friends,
Bring on summer!!! Summertime is the most important season of the year for me. This could be because when I taught high school music, summer was that all-important time of rest and rejuvenation.
It also could be because the first day of summer is my birthday and growing up I was keenly aware that my special day was the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. It could also be because I have lived all my life in Southern California just a few miles from the beach and yes, summertime here definitely means, "Surf's up!"
However, now that I am older and have a family of my own, I see how slowly, but very surely, my days have become more and more hectic and stressful. I don't need to burden you with the examples in my life because you have plenty of your own, I am sure.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that our bodies and minds need rest. But if you are one that gets caught up in the need to always be doing good works when your body is screaming for rest, even Jesus told his disciples to “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while." Mark 6:31
