August Huh How 2021?

We are in that phase where we try to figure out how are we are already in august ? At least I am wondering how in the world that happened but at the same time I am happy about the fall season around the corner. If you are thinking the same thing in your mind as me then you are thinking one of the two things I am .One there is so much I want or need to get done before Christmas. And two, I can wear all those fall things in my closet very soon... Candle season! One is a making me feel a little stressed and the other makes me excited , guess which one I prefer the most. Happy birthday to all you Leo's and Virgos out there! P.s I am in my kitchen smells like fall already , I made brownie's , they may or may not be all for me. OKAY, I will be honest they were eighty percent for me. I did share the other twenty percent, in my defense.

Enough of those yummy brownie's that kept me distracted, like I said before fall is around the corner and I know summer would be coming into a close soon. Each year I used to think summer seasons seem to way to short. But this year I couldn't be happier that summer is coming to a close soon then again we have one more month to go for summer to end. And all this heat would cool down a bit at the same time I could work on finishing completing my uneven summer tan then fry like bacon on a beach towel. Speaking of the beach , my last trip out by the sea wasn't the best of best driving wise with the convertible but the weather was on point. I got to dive into a new book on the sandy shores, called The last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin. Which before I say anything else , this book is just pure escapism ! And yes, this book will be my next book review! Keep an lookout for that!

Back to the beach trip ate amazing food while I was there. Sacks on the Beach is one my favorite places to grab a bite from and go watch the waves. I personally love Breakfast on a bagel, it's yummy , warm to the touch and even comes with a cup of fresh fruit. Another favorite place of mine which was new to me called Rocks & Brews. I highly recommend getting the street nachos to start with. It would be worth every single bite you take, trust me on that. Even thinking about those nachos alone , I wish I could get them delivered to me right now... I can taste the lime and the corn chips..

Okay ,I am back from my slight daydream about those nachos. One of my favorite parts of the trip to what I would call my childhood ; getting dressed early one morning with a coffee in hand, walking to an empty pier. Only seeing maintenance workers and little truck deliveries, listening to an old school album, smelling the fresh sea air in the wind. Finding my favorite bench on the pier to be empty and watching the tide roll back forth, that I removed the music playing in my ears. And just got lost in the time I was in, counted my blessings and the memories I had by the sea. I concluded the rest of that morning laying on the sand and watching the waves get bigger with a book in hand. Funny note I might of made myself a fool while taking off my flat shoes in front of the lifeguard station but there isn't any real photographic evidence of this said act mentioned but lets say we were both laughing and one shoe was found across the other side of the sidewalk. ( I blame the coffee didn't take full effect yet )

And the rest of the trip went unexpected chain events and lots of driving to other beaches, eating hummus , prosciutto roll in the car. Like I mention before car navigation can not be trusted when they say , "Rerouting to faster destination route". When there hasn't been cell service for two hours and windy winey roads that have cliffs every couple of miles, turn around. Which we didn't but we made back in one piece and didn't run out of gas. The best way I can describe it as, the worst roller-coaster ride on the ground and none of us never knew where it was taking us through exactly. Yes, I have a video of part of the journey because no one would ever believe us about the drive. It was indeed shorter drive back to town but very sketchy. And when a big fake monkey is hanging from a tree with nothing in sight ,it's sketchy.

That was one Beach trip that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. Back to being in August, how are we here but I am glad we are. I know the next few months we are in the unknown phase looking ahead and what's currently still happening in the world. Questioning are we ever going back to normal ? And back to school season just started a few days ago to add. Like I said I honestly don't know how it's August, I am mentally still February of this year. We might repeat everything last year again but I hope not. But I can't predict the future, I haven't mastered that one yet.

What I can say is at least the fall season would slow us down a bit than rushing too fast to have normal can be good thing. Enjoyable weather, cozy weather to be together to look forward to. Staring a new season, starting something new can be good for all of us. And if there is that something we want to complete by the year's end is still achievable even right now. Enjoy time we have right now the transition even if it's your hardest season at the moment. We can't get time back , no matter how much we want to, we don't have the power but we can flow with time to where we don't feel like we are fighting with it . We have so much to look forward to , the future is bright and towards Christmas I think we all will be spending the holidays with everyone we couldn't last year. Yes, we are in August but the next few months would be our most precious ones in our lives.

While Finishing up this monthly post , I am listening to Billy Corrington's brand new album which is amazing. Give it a listen, it's a calming vibe like a love story album. My point to wrapping up this post ; is that I think in the next few posts, new pieces will be the best one yet. I might have a few ideas for pieces alone from this album and share a few stories that I never finished with anyone. I am ready to this next chapter and next season.

Always,
