Summertime and the livin' is easy...


What a great Gershwin tune! Every parent should learn that one, to sing their babies to sleep.

I love summertime. Give me a nice summer's day, not too hot, no humidity, a bit of breeze, and I'm happy! What can be better than a good book, a cold drink and a nice summer's day!

We are so fortunate to be living in Canada, where we have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the world around us. We see so much fighting in the world. The people in those countries, unfortunately, are missing out on many of the joys of life. And life is so fleeting. We have to try to enjoy every minute we have. Good health, loved ones...and a peaceful world in which to enjoy them. What more could one ask for?

I saw a house decorated with many yellow ribbons the other day. It turns out the husband from that family has just returned from a 6-month assignment in Afghanistan. He has four weeks to spend at home with his wife and young children, then it's back to Afghanistan.

We were told in this assignment that "you can write about your thoughts so far on the Library 2.0 project... or about blogging in general... or about your own thoughts about lifelong learning (week one)."

As you can see, I didn't do that. I will say that I think that life itself is a learning experience. As long as we're living, we're learning.

Enjoy this beautiful summer's day!
