I Love Flip Flops

I get excited every year when I can finally wear flip flops.  They mean that summer is really here.  I guess there are some people who have tried to wear flip flops in the cold.  They are among those people that don't mind winter and a little frostbite.  LOL!  I love summer and the sunshine it brings.  The days are longer and we can enjoy all the outdoor activities.  Our seasonal depression goes bye, bye.  My happiest memories are always of summer and flip flops.

Cross your fingers and your toes if you can for good luck.  Everyone in our family is having a happy healthy stable summer.  We are all happy and enjoying life.  It is a relief for me as a caregiver.  It is a great summer to enjoy and that is what I am doing.

My flowers are all blooming and the my tomato plants are full, but not quite ripe.  Tis the season to sit back, kick off the flip flops and relax amongst the garden of flowers and enjoy their beauty.  We have had a lot of humid weather which has been great for the flowers.  The moisture is great for our skin also.  I feel like I am blooming with smiles.  I wish we could slow down the days of summer.

We had our family reunion on my dad's side of the family Sunday.  The older generation is getting smaller.  My dad is now the oldest one alive.  He is one of three siblings left out of twelve.   We had fun looking through high school pictures of his siblings.  My uncles were very good looking.  This is the first time I have seen the pictures.  Our younger generation has been growing by leaps and bounds and it was good to see them attend the reunion.  I hope they will continue the reunions as it is important to know your family history.

I have a cousin who is struggling to stay alive and I am sending love and prayers to him and his family.  We missed him at the reunion, as he always kept us laughing.  He has that same happy disposition my dad has.

I end this post today wearing my flip flops and smiling as life is beautiful!  Smile and be kind to everyone and maybe we can change the world.

Life is beautiful !!
