Breezin’ Through Summer Waitin’ & Hopin’

Summer Waitin’ and Hopin’

And I’ve been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze

Waiting in the Weeds by The Eagles

Summer is fickle.
Isn’t it?
Like a summer breeze.
Waitin’and hopin’.

Merry-go-rounds.
Ferris wheels.
Bumper cars.
Water balloons.
Make us feel like kids again.

Strolls on boardwalks.
Gazin’ at stars.
Love feels everywhere.
Doesn’t it?

Breezes come and go.
Love ebbs and flows.
Summer’s here
and then it’s gone.

Waitin’ and hopin’
for love to come around.
Sometimes it does,
and sometimes it doesn’t.

Waitin’ and hopin’.
Waitin’ til next time.
Floatin’ on hope.
Countin’ the days.
When the world seems to stop.

Waitin’ and hopin’ reminds us:
To listen to our hearts.
To rest in the stillness of a starry night.
Time keeps movin’.
Another summer will come.

Only you feel the intensity of hope – a glimmer of the what if?

This summer,

May you seize the moment in your waitin’.
May you swirl and twirl with hope.
Let your heart feel like a candy apple,
Soft, gooey, and sweet.

Breezin’ Through Summer As It’s Slippin’ Away

Summer’s Slippin’

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
into the future.

Fly Like an Eagle by The Steve Miller Band

Summer’s slippin’ away.
In the August heat.
There’s a change in the air.
Summer’s slippin’ away.

Summer’s slippin’ away.
Time to wipe out the beach bags.
Vacuum sand from the car.
Summer’s slippin’ away.

Crowded stores.
Back-to-school sales.
Getting ready for school.
Summer’s slippin’ away.

Summer slippin’ away reminds us:
To linger a while longer.
To treasure the moments
and tuck them in your heart.

Stay a little bit longer.
Let the days fade slowly.
Let summer have its last slip and slide,
slidin’ us forward to whatever comes next.

Where has the time gone?

This summer,

May you find yourself exactly where you need to be as
summer days slip away.
May you welcome the change with an open heart.
May you trust that endings make space for beginnings.

Breezin’ Through Summer That’s Driftin’ Away

Summer Driftin’

Summer days drifting away…

Summer Nights, Grease (Songwriters: Sammy Hagar, Edward Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony)

Summer drift.
Summer days driftin’ away.
Going uphill.
Downhill.
Sideways.

Summer drift.
Summer days driftin’ away.
Going somewhere.
Elsewhere.
Anywhere.

Summer drift.
Slowly goes away.
To a different place.
To another space.
Miles away.

Summer drift.
Goes off course.
Wide of the mark.
Off the beaten path.
Shiftin’ from here to there.

Summer drift.
Days become shorter.
Nights get longer.
Breezes feel cooler.
Sweater weather nearer still.

Summer drift.
The season starts slippin’ away.
Like waves that come and go.
Cherishin’ moments
one by one.

Summer driftin’ reminds us:
To pause.
To linger.
To stay awhile longer.
To savor the precious summertime moments.

Sandy answering Jill with:

I plan to move after the summer.
I’m really looking forward to being closer to my family.

Nadia Crane, Wine & Faith – 19 Days in Napa

This summer,

May you seize the day – every day.
May you treasure the season’s moments that glow in your heart.
May you start loosenin’ your grip on the last summer days,
so you can prepare for the harvest to come.

Breezin’ Through Summer Lookin’ for Romance

Summer Romance

Know it’s you,
I’ll take a chance,
So don’t let it go-
this summer romance.

Summer Romance by Emma McGann

Romance.
Sweet summer romance.
At camp.
At the beach.
At the lake.

Romance.
Sweeping you off your feet.
Swimming.
Dancing.
Bodies close.

Romance.
Late-night swims.
In the moonlight.
Gazing at stars.
Not a care in the world.

Romance.
Summer fling.
Or something more?
Takes you by surprise.

Romance reminds us:
To be carefree.
To not worry about what others think.
To stay in the present.
To guard your heart.

The rose mirrors our souls like a romance novel.

-Nadia Crane, Sacred Blooms: Roses (Blog, 3/25/26)

This summer,

May romance capture your heart in unexpected ways
as you freely share the love in your heart.
Let the twinkle in your eye make someone feel special today.
