Weekly Whimsy
Hello !
Lazy days of summer are wonderful!!!
Not that they are really lazy but very relaxing and rejuvenating even if only for a few days. I was able to experience that feeling after being so busy, after what has felt like a very long time. I hadn't realized how much I
needed this summer break. There was no guilt, no restlessness, just sitting back and relaxing.
I watched the clouds with my family around me enjoying themselves, relaxing, and doing what they wanted. In our own ways, we were soaking up the sun, playing in the water, visiting each other, napping on the grass, snacking in the shade of the trees, and just being. I recommend it to everyone!!
As I was thinking back and reminiscing, I found myself singing a song. Do you ever remember hearing or humming that tune that I thought was, "Bring on those lazy dazy days of Summer''? My hubby told me that I didn't have the words quite right. I went looking and found the song on Youtube. Yep, he was right but I still find myself singing my way regardless. As I was listening, I couldn't help but
think, hey!!!! I should share it with you and we can get into humming or singing it together! So, here is the video link for you to go hear and enjoy it for yourself:
I don't know if you are like me, but I did end up getting lost looking at all kinds of Youtube nostalgia summer
playlists. I decided to pick a few, which look like more than a few, for you to see what was considered top summer hits for different years. I couldn't list them all though, that would make the list huge, but here is a sampling of what I found:
There were so many playlists to choose from. If you are curious, just type the years you
want to see and there they will be.
As you can see below, I did not stop there. I found more playlists to listen to that I found were very different. There were tons of those too, here is a sampling of the ones that I enjoyed that you might like as well:
That is enough to keep us both busy and musically entertained for the rest of the summer as we enjoy a bit of self-care through relaxation and music!!
Now maybe your turn, ? How is your summer going?
Have you been able to find some lazy days for self-care where you can sit back, relax and enjoy yourself without feeling any guilt or restlessness? I would love to hear!
Stopping at times and resting, breathing in the moments, enjoying what is around you, and being, is a gift you can give yourself and your parasympathetic nervous system. We will delve into that topic
another time but for now, take intentional moments to rest and find favorite ways of self-care. Take advantage of this season. Summer is one of those perfect times to rest, and like the quote says, "by no means a waste of time."
May you find time to sit back, rest and relax each day lost in summer thoughts with gratitude, love, joy,
and whimsy!
Love and blessings,
