red walls.

See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light-a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer -- the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day’s work
And you're waitin' there
Not a care in the world

See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

This song reminds me of my dad who sings it to me on occasion. It is a Seals & Crofts tune but I think my dad's cover is better.

This song is running through my mind tonight as I reflect on this summer. I can say with confidence it was one of the most memorable summers I have had yet. Old friends got married, older friends got engaged and even older friends became mothers-to-be.

This summer brought me my first tangible vision of my future. It feels like all the components of my life have finally collided and the end result is something exhilirating, something peaceful, something permanent.

I look forward to the next season. Fall marks many milestones including one I would never have imagined reaching 2-years ago. I am fortunate in life and this summer has reminded me of that.
