“It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy”

Lyrics from “Porgy & Bess” by Gershwin & Heyward

Sometime around the middle of June, I realized that it was really summer, the time of easy livin’ but I was finding my summer livin’ not so easy. The extremely hot weather meant that I got up earlier so I could walk my dogs or work in the yard. In the evening, I kept working longer because it was too hot to go outside. What happened to my plan of taking life this summer a little easier? As soon as I had an extra space in my schedule, I filled it up with “to do’s”. Finally, I had enough!

So I vowed to at least slip in some easy livin’ time and thought I might share my ideas with you. Maybe you can enjoy some, too. I realized that whatever I did had to be simple, with not much planning or expense and these had to be some things I could just slip in when I was getting cabin fever. So here are a few ideas :

Easy Livin’ Coolers

· Went to free “Movie on the Lawn” at a local church. We brought lawn chairs & church supplied popcorn & drinks. It was definitely old-fashioned fun with a old somewhat corny movie that encouraged clapping & cheering. Lots of churches & parks are doing this- check around your area.

· Spent a wonderful hour at my local library reading magazines. Read things I’d never seen before. There is something about a fresh shiny magazine to enjoy that we just don’t get from magazines on the Internet.

· Slipped in some time to just browse some favorite local shops, The Bag Lady & Green With Envy .

o Read the cards, found some great ideas for gifts

o Chatted with friendly staff and was very impressed with the creativity of displays as well as merchandise.

o Bought a trinket to remind me to “take it easy.”

I’d love to add your ideas to the “Easy Livin’ Coolers List. Send me a comment & I will include it.
