Imagine an
image related to
the summer solstice here.
I chickened out on downloading an image from the internet to celebrate Summer Solstice with because I got a virus-warning scam from looking at one of them (at least I hope it wasn't a real virus warning).
How can it be that the summer is hitting its peak - and I haven't finished my spring projects yet?
Life is good - perhaps too abundant. The neighborhood is largely recovered from the tornado of a few weeks ago, though crazily-tilted tree stumps still remain, with the sidewalk pavement humped and dislodged. Much more sky, and less canopy. Many, many houses still sport the stylish blue plastic coverings, waiting for a new roof. And we are getting a new roof too - probably from hail damage that happened prior to the tornado.
Progeny #2 has graduated with an early childhood education major - and no job in sight. Distracted by going through a major personal shift, which you will know all about if you are friends on Facebook.
May your summer have lazy, useless, delicious days in it. May your state government not implode the way ours is doing. May you enjoy these sweet, long evenings.

Good wishes to your new graduate. I think the thing I wish I had known when I graduated was to learn at a much earlier age to embrace what the Japanese might call wabi-sabi. In the end everything is transient, so we much search for the meaning and beauty in each moment.
Very helpful insight, Laoch.
