Don't rain on my Summer Solstice
This is supposed to be the day when we throw off our winter layers, lash on the sun tan lotion and open our arms to the embrace of summer. What happened? I'm getting wet. My sun tan lotion is being washed away and the puddle I've found myself standing in is seeping through my flip flops. Still, it isn't so bad, I suppose. I can still celebrate the sun. I'll just do it from the dry safety of my sofa. The summer solstice has always been about one thing for me - balance. It marks the balance between day and night (both the same length on this date before the nights begin to lengthen again). It reminds me to question my own life balance, be that work and home balance, me-time and them-time balance or even my nutritional balance. What about you? Is your life gracefully balanced or teetering on the edge? Happy Summer Solstice, however you spend it. May the sun always shine in your life and the fire remain bright in your hearth.
