Winding down the Summer

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for.

 Epicurus Quote

As summer begins to wind down we only have a few weeks left to enjoy as much as we can. We cannot wait for it to arrive and before we know it, it is almost gone. For some, school is about to begin; for others you still have time to appreciate your freedom. 

 Growing up amid Southern California summers was always an incredible treat for me.  We never had to go far to experience the joy of what summer really means. The ocean and beaches, barbeques, the mountains, perfect weather… everything.  Many people have to travel long distances to enjoy the benefits that summer offers here; but those of us who already live here have it all.  

 I will be taking a week off to enjoy the remaining days of summer with my daughter before she goes back to school.  

 Here’s an idea for you: We visited The Getty Museum yesterday and it was an amazing experience.  I was in awe of all The Getty had to offer to people of any age.  You can enjoy it as a family, with a group, with a friend or date – and just on your own.  It is something my family will continue to do regularly from now on. 

 How fortunate we are to have so much in our community.   

 Enjoy the rest of your summer.
