Hello, Summer 2018! Yes, Summer arrived Thursday, June 21st at 6:07 AM/ EDT.
June 21st is the longest day of the year. On that day the sun reaches both its highest and northernmost point in the sky. Because the sun is the highest in the sky you'll notice your shadow is the shortest of the year!
Summer - the year's longest days and shortest nights.
Summer - time for breezy reads on sun drenched sand.
Summer - holidays, festivals and of course, baseball!
However, this summer is not just about long days and short nights, beach reads, and baseball. It's also about the unfolding tragedy of immigrant children being separated from their families at the southern border. It's about how do you put those families back together again.
It's about deciding who and what we are as a nation. It's the time to take a deep, long look within.
What do we really stand for? What do we actually believe in? Who are we, for real?
Freedom, justice and equality. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All men are created equal. How true, or hollow, do these words ring, this Summer 2018?
For the most thoughtful among us, is this shaping up to, possibly, be the Summer of our Discontent? Could this, actually, be our longest summer in recent memory?
Summer 2018 is the season to rediscover and proclaim Compassion, Integrity and Humanity. Oh, and don't leave out Democracy!
Nothing less than the Very Best to You this Summer 2018! May this be the Season You receive the desires of your heart.
Wishing You Abundant Blessings, Happiness and Success this Summer, and Throughout the Year 2018! ~ Kenneth Lillard
