Anticipation of Summer

As we get closer to the end of Matthew's school year and the weather
warms I am thinking of the long To-Do list I have been compiling for
the cottage. We will be heading up for a good chunk of July and
hopefully August as well. Of course I am sure business will weave
itself into this and I'll need to return to the city to deal with it.

I have set the context for my time at the cottage as the "summer for
my soul" and I intend on working at it! Often in the need "to do" the
"being" gets lost - and this summer is about balance and ensuring that
I find time for the soulful endeavors the cottage offers. An early
morning paddle up the misty river, sitting quietly on my favorite
mossy hilltop behind the cottage in the sun meditating and being
still, a morning hike along a trail with my camera to capture the warm morning sunrise. Being in the moment, keeping focused on the now that is all we really have and working towards letting go of worries of tomorrow. This will be the focus of my summer up north.

I also look forward to sharing this special place with friends and
family and making memories of a great time at the cottage for Matthew.

Have a great summer and stay tuned as I'll be writing regularly from
Our Magic Forest!

And feel free to post some comments - I'd love to hear from any of you reading this! H'mmmm I'm assuming someone actually reads this stuff!!??
