The summer warmth has finally arrived, piercing the gray clouds and driving them away. The weather that was promised for mid-July came early. It was a beautiful day to be in, and a wonderful surprise .
I heard a couple of songs as I went from task to task during the day. Embers and Envelopes by Mae, and Sorry, Blame it on Me by Akon. I do not usually listen to these types of songs, but they caught me particularly today. Besides the catchy tunes, their lyrics stayed with me through the day.
The lyrics, and the ending of a good story that a friend showed me, gave me a chance to think about some things that I haven't thought about in a while. It allowed me to think beyond myself, and just about life in general. The lazy, bright summer day eased all of my stresses and worries away. The thoughts about life made my troubles feel minuscule and silly.
And I thought, life really is meant to be celebrated.
It usually takes a trial, some hardship, something incredible to show the true strength of the bonds you make with the others around you. Friends become stronger. Though, these words sound epic in scope, they really just mean that friendship can stand testing and made better. And I suppose that all I really am trying to say is: I really wish to cherish all those that I hold dear.
They are my lifelines. They are my happiness. They are my strength. And I wish to make each and everyone of them smile and shine.
Yes truly, as I listen to the bright relaxed music of an orchestra describing perfectly what summer should be, I think of all those I hold dear.
I love them all.
