them little things.

You know how people say it's the little things that matter?

tis true...

This summer I don't see much of Samuel because he's a workaholic.

This summer I don't have many friends because well...the truth is I've realized who my real friends are and them people also work a lot and aren't many in numbers.

I work lots too.

We just can't seem to get our days off in sync.

So.

I rely on the little things to make up my summer

little things to make me smile.

Like most I haven't had a BIG summer vacation or a vacation at all but I'm learning to love the little things that confirm 

yes, indeed it is summer.

Things like

sleeping under the stars in my backyard

late nights chatting with friends

sitting on a fence watching the thunderstorms

watching fireworks with Sam

late night ice cream runs 

Denny's at 2am 

being barefoot

listening to music on my front porch

sleeping with the window open

reading a book in the sun

having a fire on the beach with people who matter to me

swimming as the sunsets 

bike rides
