I love summer!  Officially my pool is open for the summer and I’m at it as much as I can.  Granted it is definitely not the same as a real beach with sand, waves, and breeze but it is my city version.  There are so many normal stresses in life that, for me, during the summer just disappear.  I head out to my concrete beach with a book in hand and lay there, sweat, swim, and soak up the rays.  Everything else just seems to melt away…
