I have
been writing about some deep issues the past few essays, so I decided today to
write about something positive and not so deep.
As I
look, I can see trees blowing a gentle breeze; blue sky; and feel
a warm breeze from an open window. Families
eating out at a local restaurant, the sound of a baseball hitting a bat,
children running around laughing. Makes
me stop and think: “Yep it’s definitely summertime where camping is a tradition
and S’mores are a must. Where life is easy and laid back, you put your worries
to the side and enjoy the day.
Yep it’s
summertime, where a trip to the local fair means eating fried candy bars and
junk food, then going on a roller coaster being turned upside down and twisted
from side to side, and hope what you just ate does not do the same.
Sitting
down on a field with all of your family and friends to watch some amazing
fireworks and thinking nothing can be better than this. As you scan that
field and see happy faces on everyone, a smile comes across your face, and you
let out a sigh, and realize that despite what’s going on around in your life
now, life is good and you never want to forget this feeling.
As the
“Grand Finale” displays it’s glory, and you start packing up your family,
saying goodbye for now to your cousins and other relatives, and
head home. Your family takes a
well-deserved nap on the way back. You watch some more fireworks, look at your
family and realize that no matter what you never want to lose this feeling.
