Maine Summer

6/16/2012

 
If you  live in Maine, you earn your summer season.  Those introspective (read: frigid), bone-chilling, grey days where you watch the sun rise after breakfast, and then watch it set again before supper--they take a toll, and I find myself reacting to them with a bartering spirit.  This is the price, I remember, for summer.

And that, in essence, what I've been doing and where I've been.  Enjoying th eseason.  Not cooking.  Not blogging.  Not doing a lot of things in the traditional sense.  I bought two new lawn chairs for the back porch, and I've been sitting in them.  I believe there is value in this white space. 

Productivity does not always look like sentences, or bottom lines, or piles of stuff, and that is my headspace lately--lots of white space.  Lots of open windows, reading books, and listening to fabulous old vinyl.  Lots of patting my dog's belly.

Challenge:  What does your white space look like?

Parents can boost the interest of the kids toward education by letting them know the importance of education and by giving the example of other successful people and role models to boost their interest and love with learning and by building the sense of having or doings.

    About Shonna.
    As a writer living in my home state of Maine, I sling words for cash, compassion, or glory. I also teach, tell groups how to improve systems, and offer development consultation. 


    I also wear eyeglasses.  Generally, big ones.
