Wishing and planning for summer
It is not uncommon to have a favorite time of year however, I love summer more than any other season and as soon as a new year begins I start getting ready for summertime. I have already started planning my summer bucket list game, my summer mall weekend and of course my vacations. . There is just something that is so welcoming about summer. It usually means sunny days, vacations and a bunch of outdoor activates including swimming, hiking, camping and concerts. I also absolutely love celebrating the fourth of July. It is usually a low stress holiday full of family, friends, food and fire works. I know some people like to hate on summer because it gets very hot and that not the most comfortable thing in the world. but I can deal with the heat in exchange for the joy and fun that the summertime brings. I'm not afraid to admit that one of the big reasons why I love summer so much is because of the nostalgia that it brings me. The feeling of freedom I felt during childhood comes back to me every year . Every summer it is like I'm off of school again with days of freedom and fun ahead of me. Now, I'm in my 30's and I have to go work so I don't exactly have the the seemly endless free time that I had during my childhood summer vacations. That being said I still make the most of my summers. I'm very much looking forward to another year of summertime adventure. However until then I will be getting ready for my very favorite time of year. That does not mean that I won't be enjoying the time in-between now and then. I know some may consider it be silly to spend so much time planning for a certain time of year but I consider it to be a hobby just like the way some people get really into certain holidays or sports events. There a plenty of people who put in a lot of preparation for a one day event such as a wedding so it does not seem silly to me that I put this much effort in to planning for my summer. I enjoy researching what I want to do on vacation, What movies I want to see, What concerts will be happening close to me and deciding what songs I want to put on my summer playlist. One Thing I really want to do this year is make sure that I get to go to some fun summer concerts because I did not get to go to any last year. However it can take a while for concert dates to be published so I haven't bought any tickets or decided on an artist I want to go see yet but there are a few that I am considering going to see. I'm also keeping an out for any fun 5ks like the color run ,the bubble run or night nation that might announce that they are having events near me. I also have a Pinterest Board where I'm gathering things like art and craft projects and summer bucket list ideas. It goes without saying but I'm very excited for summertime and I can not wait for sunny days to get here. It is raining right now and this kind of weather can easily get me depressed. I know that we need rain and I'm happy that we are getting it but it has a negative impact on my mood but my summer planning is helping to keep from sleeping all day. I really hope that this summer will be one of the best ones ever! What are your plans for this summer? I would love to read them in the comments.

Reflections
As I stood in front of the mirror and gazed at my reflection, I couldn't help but ponder over the meaning of true beauty. In today's world, we have become obsessed with physical appearance, often forgetting that beauty is not just skin-deep. While mirrors are designed to reflect our outer appearance, they do not capture the true essence of our being.

The Burden of Wealth: Trapped in the Shadow of Luxury
Once upon a time, in a tranquil village nestled amidst lush green valleys, resided a rich man who sought the guidance of a wise and revered monk named Mahan. Troubled by his son's reckless and extravagant behavior, the wealthy man approached Mahan, hopeful that he could instill some wisdom in his prodigal child. As the rich man poured out his worries to Mahan, the monk listened patiently, understanding the weight of his words. With a compassionate gaze, Mahan assured the rich man that he would find a way to steer his son back onto the path of righteousness. Days later, Mahan summoned the rich man's son, whose name was Selvandar, to accompany him on a journey. Together, they embarked on a trek through untamed terrain until they reached a clearing that overlooked a nearby hill. Selvandar's curious eyes glanced upon a colossal boulder resting before them. With a grave expression etched on his face, Mahan turned to Selvandar and spoke in a gentle yet firm tone, "Young Selvandar, I want you to carry this enormous rock to the peak of that hill." Confusion mingled with a tinge of annoyance flickered in Selvandar's eyes, but he obeyed nonetheless, gripping the rough edges of the boulder. Straining every muscle, he heaved and struggled, feeling the weight of the stone pressing down upon him like the burden of his father's expectations. Through sweat-soaked clothes and aching bones, Selvander persevered, refusing to succumb to defeat. His determination grew as he inched closer, step by painstaking step, towards the pinnacle of the hill. Finally, with sheer determination, Selvandar reached the crest, panting heavily from his exertion. Triumph washed over him as he anticipated Mahan's words of praise. However, instead of lavishing him with compliments, the monk surprised him with a simple instruction. "Roll that rock down," Mahan commanded, his voice carrying a serene yet enigmatic tone. A surge of anger and frustration welled up within Selvandar. How could Mahan ask him to simply discard the result of his grueling labor? He had endured the same struggles his father faced while building their family's wealth. Did he not deserve the fruits of his own endeavors? Face contorted with indignation, Selvandar confronted Mahan, his words laced with resentment. "Your father struggled like this when he accumulated wealth... What is the justification for you to waste it extravagantly?" In response, Mahan maintained his calm demeanor, his calm gaze unwavering. Delicately, he spoke, his voice carrying the wisdom of ages. "Selvandar, my son, sometimes it takes a journey of hardships to truly understand the worth of what we possess. By releasing the burden that consumes us, we learn to appreciate the true value of life's treasures." A flicker of realization danced in Selvandar's eyes as he absorbed Mahan's words. Suddenly, the weight of his grievances seemed insignificant compared to the weight of the boulder he had just carried. A sense of liberation washed over him, freeing his spirit from the shackles of materiality. In that moment, Selvandar understood. True wealth was not merely monetary. It lay within the experiences and lessons gained throughout life's journey. He felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the opportunities bestowed upon him and realized the importance of utilizing wealth responsibly. With newfound clarity and an enlightened perspective, Selvandar turned to Mahan, a smile breaking across his face. "Thank you, wise Mahan. You have changed my mind, and for that, I am eternally grateful." And so, Selvandar returned to his father's side, transformed by the monk's lesson. No longer burdened by the weight of material possessions, he embraced the true essence of wealth—knowledge, compassion, and the ability to appreciate life's simplest joys. From that day forth, Selvandar embarked on a different journey. A journey that would allow him to honor his father's hard-earned wealth by using it to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
