I had a bit of the Monday's today.
Not because I woke up groggy, or feeling "off" - but because the day was long, the work hard, and those people above me, work-wise, really made the day a hassle. Oh well, thus is life. Right?
It didn't help that today was overcast. Don't get me wrong, I love overcast days, especially out here in always sunny California, but when coupled with all the events of the day, it didn't help.
What today did do though, was make me want the summer. I want the sun to beat down, hard. I want the air to be hot, muggy, thick. I want to sweat. I want summer rain storms. The smell of ozone. I want to be able to spend time outside at night in just shorts and a t-shirt. I want the trees in my yard to bloom so the air smells sweet. I want to be able to have fires behind the house in the fire pit. I just want to be with people late into the night. I want to throw steaks onto the grill. I want to lay out in the yard in the sun. I want to pick the citrus from the trees for drinks.
I hope you all want summer too.
This video, as simple as it is, reminds me of all these things, but most importantly, it makes me feel that summer is right around the corner.

This comment will come as no surprise, Drew - I want summer, too! Today is my day to be sitting, overlooking the water, on a dreary and rainy day. But, it is warm, and summer is on its way.
ReplyDeleteThe video is beautiful - though I have to admit, I held my breath while he jumped into the water from the top of the 'cliff'! I'll sit here and imagine you, and Christo, and your friends jumping off the dock into the lagoon, and saying "Hey!"
Thanks for finding such a beautiful film to start my day. It just doesn't look so dreary any more.
ieyu, ilys!
