Summer. I don't like it. It's too hot, and my motivation, what little I have, goes down the tubes. I'm ready for fall! Or a move to cooler climes.
I think I have seasonal affective disorder, but instead of being like most people where winter affects you, it's summer for me. Honestly, I just can't handle being hot - I get cranky and irritable (just ask Mike!) Andrea (my best friend) and I were just discussing this the other day. She is much the same way as me. We just don't want to do anything in the summer - want to stay indoors, out of the hot sun. It's depressing!
On a more positive note - I did scoop up a bit of motivation on Sunday. My art room needed cleaning (for months!) and I finally motivated to do it! My reason - I want to be able to do yoga before work in the mornings. There was so much crap on the floor that I didn't have room! So, I cleaned, threw junk away, am sending a big bag of "stuff" to my sister Vicki, etc. I have bags to go to Goodwill, and used books to turn in to the bookstore! Yay! AND - best of all, I have room to do yoga again! And I did do it yesterday morning. I could hardly move this morning because my unused muscles are so sore! But, I'll keep trying! It felt good! (Although I was too hot - go figure. A new fan is in order!)
I hope you all are well! Wedding plans are moving along. My shower is coming up in less than a month! The invitations are going out this week! Fun!! :)

Oh, how I can relate to this. I just don't like summer anymore! It's just too hot where we live and my energy is completely gone. I stay inside most of the time and even with the a/c I still don't feel like doing much.
Maybe I should take up yoga....then I might get my studio cleaned!!
In spite of my annoyance with the heat, I am still a total summer girl... but becoming less so each summer. I've started getting sick from the heat WAY easier lately.
Yoga... I started trying that today! I did a few minutes this morning before work... not enough to count for much, but enough to learn the first 5 minutes of the DVD lol
Cleaning out and creating space is such a good way to get more creative - once you can see what you've got you can create with it.
Tammy, you're going to LOVE going west when the opportunity finally comes. Summer is so much more civilized, I miss it so much. The heat broke me yesterday, I hate it. Winter's bad, summer is worse for me too.
I'm so glad you got to do your own clearing ceremony of your crafts room, makes a huge difference doesn't it? I can't wait to see what you create next.
The slump in the summer is a real thing! I even read an article about it!
I hate the drone of the air conditioner...alternatively, I hate being hot.
Clearing out and giving away things makes room for more "air"...spiritual space or cool breezes!
Have a great week!
