Summer Rules

Let’s tip the hat (if we have one) to Mr. Gershwin:

Fish are out there on the Sound, the bald eagle is hovering over Brunswick Beach; not sure about the cotton. In any event, it’s summer, a little late arriving;  but for one and all, it’s time to go easy on the rules which by necessity, whether applied with discretion or enforced boot camp style, each household has them to prevent descent into borderline chaos.

For the younger folk it’s the end of school and the morning’s parental screaming to get out of bed, a well-earned respite from disciplined homework, the evening meal and bed later than usual; and heaven! sleeping in! For more mature members, vows to get in better shape so life at this time of the year can be more enjoyable and promises made, hopefully to be fulfilled, of a thousand household projects from fixing the unruly backyard to reading unread books gathering dust on the shelves. Perhaps even re-create the spark in your love life.

Rules? They are always out there, in some form or other, but make them a more balanced ingredient in your life in this beautiful time of the year. It is the season for fun. Indulge yourself.

It’s summer. An’ the livin’ is easy.
