Paddleboard In the Summer

Summer is finally here, what a pleasant time, the calm sweet smell of the spring breeze, blowing through your hair, bringing you to a calm surreal place, everyone is enjoying themselves, taking in the scene. Its finally time to enjoy yourself, to forget about work, stress, and just be yourself, everyone is swimming and splashing around in the lake, you too will be enjoying yourself in this wonderful place. Its time to take the first step into the summer lake, you ease your paddle board down on the rocky beach, as you feel the cool water touch your skin, tiny fish and tapoles come to greet you, they've come to say hello.. Your at peace, your mind knows this is your sacred church, the ducks and seagulls are your congreation, only you and the water are one, with a clear blue sky to ease your worries away. No deadlines to meet, no students to talk to, just your mindfulness to concentrate on, is all that needs to be done. The calm clear water glides under your board, as you are enjoying the surroundings around you, take a deep cleansing breath, this is your time Christa, its been too long of a wait, let your stress and your burdens slowly take flight, you may be lucky and see a eagle fly above, that is Mother nature's sign that you are doing what you love. No watch to look at, and no phone to answer, only the beauty of the lake and what a peaceful time being in the right now, whereever you go, there you are..
