watching the sun set
on the lake of contentment

There’s nothing like camping to remind you what’s important in life.

What you really need to survive,
and all the things you don’t need at all.

And how little it takes to make you happy.

Sky.

Stars.

Fire.

Water.

Morning tea.

Love.

Words.

Maybe a bit of chocolate.

A big, open heart.

And okay, an air mattress doesn’t hurt either.

.

Wishing you an open-hearted Wednesday.

goodbye, july

.

We had a little love affair, you and I,

lazy days and sultry nights,

with extra time

to enjoy each other’s company.

.

I’m going to miss you, July,

but I’ll always remember

our month of smiles.

xoxo
