Real Life of an MSW 
Let me see how to answer these questions……What are your favorite summer memories and how can you incorporate those experiences into your current life? My favorite memories of summer as a child is the vacations we’d take every summer and to this day travel has been vital to my life and growth. I don’t do it as much now b/c of school but trust I’ll be back on it soon. How have you grown and changed since the start of the year, and what intentions do you have for the rest of the summer? Oh let me count the ways. I’ve grown so much mentally and emotionally. When I look back over my life, as I often do, I’m just so happy of the progress I’ve made with accepting things and people and not trying to change or make things/people what I want them to be. What I’ve decided to do is accept what is and move away from things and people that don’t serve me well. Doesn’t mean I don’t love them or wish them ill, it or they just don’t work for me and thats okay! That is a huge win for me. What does the summer solstice mean to you, and how can you honor this special time in your own way? It means everything to me. So, I’ve learned to bask in it. Sunshine and hot weather makes me happy, so I enjoy simply laying out in and just existing. I’d lay out on my patio and just breath. I breath through the thoughts as they come in my head and after a while I’m free. Free from thoughts and all I hear is the sounds around me. It’s so peaceful there. How can you connect more deeply with nature and the world around you during this season? By slowing down and being present. What are you grateful for in your life right now, and how can you express that gratitude in meaningful ways? I’m grateful for life. For second chances, for growth, for wisdom, for strength, and love! I try to express daily in my clothes, in my walk, in my smile, in my writings. Thanks for this. This was very therapeutic!
