sweet summertime

The summer sits in front of me now like a long stretch of open road with little excitement up ahead. Maybe  a few quickly passing trees or roadside signs.  Oh the road signs of life. They would read something like this. "reduce speed for 10 o'clock classes ahead." or "beware of no jobs in the area," or even "quiet days and nights up ahead." Yup, those are my road signs for the summer in front of me now.  Not to be a debby downer, I just feel like this summer holds nothing particularly special. I'm not taking any exciting trips or adventures and I have to take summer school, so it's not going to feel like much of a break.  I get to experience the mundane of the day to day lifestyle. I guess the mundane is beautiful in it's own way. Like most things It's just a matter of perspective. The main thing I am dealing with now is, how do I get excited about what this summer holds for me? With the future is uncertainty, and uncertainty equals possibility. And possibilities are always intriguing aren't they? I am looking forward to a change of perspective, new classes, new jobs and new people, and with that comes a new day to day life.  So there, I already feel a little better about it than when I first started writing. I will keep you posted on how it all unfolds...
