Dear Summer...Please Slow Down

Published: Jul 10, 2013 · Modified: Apr 23, 2016 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Dear Summer,

You are going by way to quickly, please slow down! How is it already July 10th! I feel like I was just studying for finals last week but its been a month. Maybe you are speeding by because I have not done much of anything to make you want to stay. I have spent my days just waking with the sun, reading, reading ,reading, working out, and wasting my time on my laptop. I am sorry Summer, maybe creating a bucket list will help with my mundane leisure?

Ocean

Summer, I hope I can accomplish these things; if not all then at least most. But I am counting on you to bring me some good weather since you have been less than stellar. So it is up to you and me, Summer, let's make this a good one!

From your Good Friend with Love,

Rebecca 🙂
