; It's a pleasure to be back on the blog scene and reconnect. As many of you are aware, June 2024 marked my 15th year anniversary here at Pen & Prosper. This important milestone ushering in and underscoring the need for a much-deserved break. But a break is not always the same as a vacation, in my estimation.
Anyhow... I had an interesting summer, filled with highs and lows. One thing became increasingly clear, in the interim. One of the best ways to keep this blog going and to combat writer's block in general, is to engage in things that feed the mind, body, and spirit. Wouldn't you agree?
See people. Go places. Read more. Take in some sun. Discover some new dishes. Embrace daily blessings. Expand your horizons. To write is to live.
With this in mind, today I'm sharing some pics of my summer. Please note that my photography is not as developed as my writing! Pun intended.
Activities included backyard parties; local food fests; grilling good grub; shopping; reading in the sun; drinking lots of green tea; etc.
...
Feel free to share some of your summer highlights and lessons in the comments section.
Thanks for reading!
I agree, Jen! "To write is to live." The older I get, the more I understand how it's not always about checking things off the to-do list. Savoring the days, the relationships, and the experiences makes life so much richer and purposeful. Appreciate your insight and encouragement here, truly.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to experience a bit of your summer through your photos. From parties and tea to gifts and grills, such fun and inspiration here! Thank you for sharing them with us. :)
Well Jen, I was certain that I commented on this post, but apparently I was mistaken. Perhaps I commented in a dream. LOL In any case, thanks for sharing a glimpse of your summer! Despite the ups and downs, it does appear that you finished strong, and for that I am very glad. :)
