A wise snowman once said “Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle but put me in summer and I’ll be a Happy Snowman”
-Olaf The Snowman from Frozen
Can you believe we are heading straight into Summer? That means, we are already half way through 2019 and are heading into what most of us consider as a very busy time of year. By now, if you live in Florida you are certainly feeling this early heat wave going on. This entire week my car has been showing temperatures already greater than 100 degrees and Summer is just starting. I have a feeling this will be a very very hot Summer!
Right about now, most kids are getting ready for Summer break. When I was a kid, summer break meant vacation time. Summer break meant a time where I didn’t have to worry about grades, homework or waking up late and missing the bus. Summer was the perfect time and I was free. Thinking back, it was probably just as hot as it is today but I loved Summer none-the-less probably because of a different perspective. It’s funny how changing our perception on certain things can really change our mind, attitude and way of living. We think of perception or our perspective as a way we view the world, something simple and easy that can be adjusted or changed. But our perception can be a choice we make about what we accept as being true. So, with that said…how can our lives benefit by changing our perspective a little? How can we be more united because of this simple idea? A few days ago, I was drowning in heat but it was a simple friend who reminded me to not think about it and really change my perception.
Like it or not, the heat is part of what Summer brings. It was meant this way and I certainly am going to make the most of my Summer and listen to that happy snowman.
- ” I don’t know why but I’ve always loved the idea of Summer and Sun and all things Hot….”
Questions to Consider:
- How can we change our perception/perspective to really value life/others more?
- How can we try and stay focused even through seasons of hardship or trials?
- How can we use these thoughts and information to help others?
- What do you look forward to this Summer?
