This I Know
This summer has been [*insert Cousin Eddie voice*] real good to the Shorts.
[Well, until this week. My favorite coach had surgery to repair an abdominal hernia and he is currently down for the count. Every day is getting a little easier...just keep praying for his healing!]
Prior to the surgical takeover of my favorite coach, we managed to take 4 trips to Oak Island since May....not too shabby. [My parents have taken up residence there so we simply invade their space for spans of time. It works.] I spent a large part of many days this summer just watching the ocean waves.
We have asmall medium large collection of shells.
We have sunglasses tans.
We have luggage that has stayed permanently packed.
We still have sand in our car.
Just a side note....I have yet to meet an educator who doesn't love summer time. We are a lucky bunch. [Remind me of that come January, when I want to pull my hair out....strand by strand.]
These are a few lessons I've learned [or been reminded of] over this summer of fun in the sun.....
I should have majored in marine biology or scuba diving [is that a major?] or something that put me near the ocean.
It is not humanly possible for me to get a decent tan. On my second trip to the beach, I ended up with a handprint on my left leg. [How? Why? #idunno] It's still there.
Sometimes Many times it is not possible to go home [not your real home but metaphorically speaking]. You cannot return because that moment you are trying to return to is over.[John Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles have been playing in my head all summer.] Personally, I'm struggling with this one.
Peaches and homegrown heirloom tomatoes [just not at the same time] are quite possibly two of the world's most perfect foods.
Looking backward never helped anyone move forward. [#fact]
The times when all of my children are under the same roof are becoming less and less frequent so spend them wisely. [The dishes and laundry always wait.]
Catching sand crabs is the best way to spend a Tuesday night. [Watching Craig catch sand crabs on a Tuesday night is absolutely hilarious.]
Good friends make life easier.
Snapchat filters are the perfect busters of boredom. [I have not one bit of shame in saying that.]
I am not sure anyone will survive the 2016 election season. [318 million folks in the US and those twoidiots buffoons are the very best we can come up with to lead our country? Geez...]
Sometimes ALL THE TIME, when there is drama in a person's life, its ok [as in really OK] to NOT share it on Facebook.
Unfortunately [but often], people that you believed would never forget you fade into the past.
Getting older...I'll spare you the gory details....
I am not organized. I didn't get organized this summer. [#whocares #notme]
No matter how hard you try, you cannot make someone want to be in your life that truly does not want to be in your life.
Jesus loves me....this I know.
