All of this nice weather is getting me to reminisce about summer and all of the good times we had. I am from Charlottesville Virginia, which is right on the borderline of the country. Even in the city there are not many harsh lights. The stars out there are brilliant; we were usually able to see a full sky with hundreds of thousands of twinkling stars.
Our summer routine included lazy days and pick-up truck. It was not uncommon to find us by the river with the tailgate down and my dog sitting by my side. Those were the days of paradise. Everything seemed so surreal as if I were in a dream or something. I have to admit that I took those days for granted. I was the most at peace then I ever have been since. We could stay outside from sunrise to sunrise. We would sleep in the grass, swim in rivers, and climb trees. At night we would lay under the stars and try to find constellations. One night we were all staying at my house in the basement and we never went to sleep because we were talking. We decided to go watch the sunrise over the mountain. It was one of the best mornings of my life.
At times I just wish I could spend my life in that way. Travel and explore all kinds of places, not to worry about money, school, or possessions. It would be nice to just enjoy the moment without commitments to the future.
