It’s June. Wow. How did that happen? Weren’t we hiding Easter eggs just yesterday? Did we just our New Year’s kiss last week? 2015 has definitely gotten away from me, and I woke up this morning with one terrifying thought.
Summer is coming, and I have NO PLANS.
Usually by June 1st I have it all mapped out. A beautiful vacation. A detailed list of summer concerts, festivals, and farmers markets. Day trips. Weekend getaways. Parties. Camp-outs. Silly fun. Pinterest-pinterest-pinterest. Woohoo, Summer!
This year … I got nothing. No plan. No list. No map. Nothing.
But I think I’m okay with it.
Normally I run myself nutty trying to plan the BEST SUMMER EVER!!! I try to fill every moment. I have plans for every day and back-ups and back-up-back-ups. I shuttle my family here and there. I have a timeline of everything happening everywhere, and still at the end of every summer I feel like we’ve missed something. Like I’ve missed something.
I think in planning the days and weeks, I miss the moments.
So this summer I’m going to try to give up planning. I’m going to try to take each day one at a time. No lists. No maps. No itineraries. I think we’ll wander a bit. Fly by the seat of our pants. Go where the wind blows us. Ramble.
Doesn’t that sounds just a teeny bit amazing?
A whole summer of nothing but capturing small moments with my family. Late nights and lazy mornings. Fire pit evenings. Slow walks. Late night snacks and who-knows-what-else-because-I-haven’t-written-it-down-and-won’t …
I think that sounds like a pretty good plan.
