Best Thing About Summer

You know what the best thing about summer is?
The fact that summer is represented by a constant black, brown and green stain on the soles of your feet. That your hair lightens in color as a result of sunshine and the continuous presence of chlorine from swimming. You feel alive as you play frisbee, tag or any other inventive games out in the sun and as soon as your face hits the pillow your unconscious. It means the perpetual company of all things green. It's expressed by having your window open at night because of the cold summer breeze that blows by and the waking in the morning to the singing of the birds. It causes the warping of time as the daylight hours are longer and the evenings are exciting, but the day still seems shorter and you wish there was more minutes in a day. Summer gives an excuse for ice cream, smoothies, shaved ice, melons, lemonade.
Every summer day is a day to be celebrated.
It's a time of relaxation and adventure. A time of renewal and life. It's a time spent with family exploring the world around us and strengthening relationships. A time with friends enjoying the lives we've been granted.
Summer.
It's a time of Joy.
That's the best thing about it.
