& the under the Stars Story
Dona Anderson
This post is kind of a check in before the Summer of Music starts next week.
Do you have plans for the summer?
Here are a few lines from the Meditation -
Wake Up and Enjoy the Day.
It starts with ...
The grass can wait
The dishes can wait
The laundry can wait
Listen to the sounds around you,
the birds, the passing breeze,
your breath.
The short excerpt above is from Meditation #45, page 112 in Moving Forward from the Heart.
It mentions summer activities but this can be anytime, or another season that we do activities for that season in.
It just wants to make you the priority for some of your to do lists with an I get to do list.
Ask yourself - What makes you happy and makes you smile.
What refreshes and nourishes your body & soul.
Later it ends with this last thought - If today is just for you, what will you do?
The summer goes by so fast that I always find it to be a more important time of year to notice and be present.
We need to rest and enjoy those warm days and nights - and remember to make a few lazy days and do nothing days to just breathe life in.
Even simple things like I love to watch the birds visit the yard, notice what changes from day to day in the garden, or just sit by myself for an hour or so and do nothing but nourish my soul.
Over the summer I hope you will exchange the Busy word for something like I'm having Fun or doing lots of reading on the porch, planning a BBQ, exploring the parks, going to the lake or on vacation, camping the the backyard, I'm growing lots of fresh vegetables or ...

Story time - I have to tell you about one night years ago we got up around 2 am to watch the stars. We had the blankets and pillows all ready to lay outside and hope for something special to happen.
The dogs came out with us and after cuddling awhile and wondering why we weren't in bed, they started to walk around and ended up they both had a big smelly poop close by.
Well that wasn't the special thing we had
hoped to happen that night.
hoped to happen that night.
After getting up and a few laughs we went back to bed.
Please Take Care of you,
and enjoy this years
Summer of Music starting next week.
