The Summer Wind...

... came blowing in from across the sea.

The sun is so bright it hurts my eyes and scorches my skin.  The wind is so warm that it feels like I'm in a convection oven. It is summer!

When I was a child (and I'm sure each and every child), I looked forward to the summer with so much eagerness.  It was play time! No schoolwork!  I could play all day!  Well, except for the mandatory couple of hours of afternoon nap.  My father used to check us in our beds and blow on our eyes to make sure we were really asleep.  Wasn't that silly?  I must do this when Kayla is asleep.  I want to know how she will react.  Will her eyes "blink" or will they be unaffected?  Will she wake up?  I must make sure I spray her with some saliva when I do it!  LOL!

Now that I am older and no longer entitled to carefree play time, summer is the time to put on extra sun block.  How annoying it is to have skin that gets burned even from the reflection of the afternoon sunlight.  Sun block on my face every day for the rest of my life and all over during summer. I wish they can make sun block in pill form so that I can just pop one everyday.  That would be much, much more convenient.  Imagine, five minutes of my day is spent waiting for the sun block to be absorbed by my skin.  Everyday. That is 1.27 days of waiting every year.

It is my destiny to wait for hours or days and even years on end for something or someone to happen.

Patience, patience, my dear.  Everything will happen at the right time and place.

I can't wait (oh, but I must!) to go to the beach in a couple of weeks.  Sun, sand, sea, wind, reggae and tequila!!!  Yeah, baby!!!

Oh, don't forget the gobs and gobs of sun block.
