Summer season feels

Graphic by Bruna Costa

How’s everyone’s summer going? How is it feeling with the weather change and the hotter temperature? 

I can say, my experience has been scorching since the summer began. There are days I just stay indoors with the air conditioning to keep myself together. Another way I keep cool is cold, refreshing fruit. I love fresh, cold watermelon chunks! As I take a bite out of the watermelon, the juice fills me up. 

I can say, summer is an interesting season. The hot, sunny days and the humidity engulf the air, but summer is still a lovely season. 

I love to wear my dress shirts and jean shorts in the summer. I also love wearing my different colored bucket hats. I have about 12 in my collection and I can’t get out the door without wearing one! 

I love outdoor events like barbeques, fairs, and pool days. I love times of fun and making memories! A big reason why I love the summer is exercising in a warm setting. I take health very seriously, so when the summer comes I exercise outside and take in the scenery of nature. I love walking and reflecting on life. I love walking with my daughter; that quality mother-daughter time is how we get to know more about each other. 

Overall, I love summer because it is a season of growth and change. I get to do more things outside like eating fruits for a cool snack on a hot day or walking on summer evenings. Summer is not my favorite season, but I am grateful when it comes and makes its presence known. 

How do you like the summer? Is summer your favorite season? What do you do to keep yourself cool on a hot sunny day? What’s one thing you love about summer? Take a moment to ask yourself and reflect on these questions and, maybe, ask another person as well. 

Thank you for listening
