It’s Summer Time...Where’s My Piña Colada?
What do you want to do? I just want a Piña Colada and fried shrimp.
It’s all I wanted and I got it. I am not complicated. I always say what I want and need and when I don’t get it well I kindof have it in my head until I do. So luckily I got what I wanted and it was the best weekend Summer treat. I mean Pina Colada on a dock with fried shrimp baskets and clam chowder just screams SUMMER! What’s your favorite summer escape?
Let’s Spice Things Up...
It wasn’t my weekend with the kids but my oldest daughter wasn’t feeling well at a wedding so I told her Dad to bring her to me after I got back from plans I had. I think she was overtired from a weekend of events because she woke up this morning feeling fine.
I went outside to workout as normal and came inside to get my bathing suit. Mom what are you doing. She asked when I had my bathing suit on. Finishing my workout in the pool. You can come but we will be working out. She first said no thanks and came out five minutes later. We did laps. Blasted my Mumford & Sons pandora station and she said wow mom this is amazing. You really spiced up the morning. I loved it.
Let’s do it everyday.
I would love to but reality is morning hustle wouldn’t allow with first drop off being 8:00 am but then I realized if we did do it everyday would it be as special. Would it feel amazing?
When you become accustomed to a routine you take it for granted. You don’t appreciate it as much. Don’t get me wrong my new morning routine when I am not hustling to leave the house by 7:50 is amazing. Great for the body and soul. Outside work out followed by pool time. All done by 8:30 am.
Even my daughter said it was magical and such a great way to start the day but my point is sometimes spicing things up means changing your routine. It means doing things outside of your normal routine but you can’t take it for granted and do it all the time or else the thrill fades. It gives you something to look forward to. I promised her when I have her Saturday nights we can do it again early Sunday mornings. She’s loving it and I must admit so do I.
Need to Relax...Go By The Water
I was just out with friends the other day and telling them how I go to the beach a couple times a week in the morning before starting my day. One of them said they haven’t had much time to go except for when playing sports. I said you gotta go and do it. The other friend said how true it is and relaxing for our body. There’s something so calming to be by the water, I couldn’t explain it and then I saw this article.
Being near a body of water makes us calmer and healthier, science shows
Summer is here. It’s that time of year to be good to your mind, body and soul. Get up and go. Even if it’s just for a walk near a lake or beach or having breakfast near a pool. Go out and do something out of your normal routine that brings peace to you.
