Opportunity
All around me I see the signs of summer and it could be because it is Memorial Day, and Southern social morays dictate that you can wear white after this day as absurd as that sounds even to write it now. But more importantly, as the lazy days of summer begin, my brain has juggernauted into action mode. Perhaps it is in the lazy days of summer that you can best reinvent yourself.
A colleague who was recently laid off sent me this: “Experience is not what happens to a woman; it is what a woman does with what happens to her.” (Aldous Huxley – gender change mine).
I offer one more little touch of pithiness to this discussion:
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” John Lubbock

I still abide by that old southern social moray of not wearing white (especially shoes) before labor day. It’s silly I know, but those customs are ingrained. Now I’ll finally be able to wear my luscious new blue shirt with those white jeans! 😆
