FINDING WAYS TO MAKE THOSE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER MORE ENJOYABLE….

Oh, it is way too hot these days, which takes away from fulfilling those Summer dreams and wishes, but, that means more time to stir up fantasy and romance, so be sure to take advantage of the time you HAVE to stay inside…

I sincerely detest being forced to remain indoors in the warm months, but, such is life, and I feel that all things should find us using our imagination to make the most of every hour. Yes, it is boring to be shut in when it looks so beautiful outside, but, when temps and humidity are soaring, it is the safest, wisest thing to do. In these times you can create fun of a different kind; free the wild child within and make these times as memorable as anything else you might hope to do this Summer…

You could have an indoor beach party, simply get together some usual beach gear, like chaise loungers, beach towels, swimwear, and what have you. Clear some room near a large door wall or window, or even in front of the big screen. Make sure there is plenty of light in the room. Pack a picnic, some cool drinks, music, or beach videos, and have lots of fun. You could even splash around in the tub or the hot tub and then lay out watching the world or videos. Beach movies are a riot and they will lift your spirits, and if you are imaginative enough, you can shake the Summer doldrums away in no time…

I have had many fun filled times playing around like this; camping out by the TV, watching videos or movies, and sleeping there, and well, you see…

You could have a day of inviting various people to skip work, just call them the day before, invite them to spend the day with you, tell them to use a vacation or sick day. Have them come in beach clothes, lingerie, togas or whatever, and have a day party. You could use the pool to cool down, and then take it inside for a day of different fun. There are so many ways you could go with this, and then when it cools down a bit, you could finish up with a BBQ and some evening swimming, dancing, and whatever else you and your friends might like to do. The key is to stir up some excitement, and to use that creativity of fantasy. Who would not like such a day???

Of course, there are those who might find this a bit over the edge; that is fine, for there are things for this type to do as well, such as a shared day of soft music, reading, or what have you. Perhaps a gourmet lunch, followed by mutual massage, and a nap. Ideas are plenty, you only need to determine which would please both of you, and then, go for it. Life is short and times are meant to be as fulfilled as we can make them, especially when it comes to couples, family, and friends…

Home alone? Have a spa day. Put on some great music. Do a bit of exercising, then spend the day mixing homemade concoctions for your body and face. Make it total pampering of the self day. Then when your partner comes home, have a nice romantic dinner and perhaps some time dancing or gazing at the night sky, you will be so fresh, so relaxed, and so ready for some shared excitement…

Truly, the imagination is a gift to life; it is meant to be used from the mind out. I am sure that there are many thoughts in your mind which would seem extraordinary, fun, pleasurable, and intriguing to experience, so, why not make them a reality? All it takes is some effort, some affirmation, and finally some action. Remember, this season is so short, and if the weather doesn’t cooperate, at least we have ideas which could make a day, any day more meaningful, and certainly more memorable…
