Peals of Laughter, Fits of Whining, and the Glories of Summer

Well, you asked me “how’s my summer”, didn’t you? I guess you can just call that the basic overview within which all other categories end up going. Now here’s the long answer: 

Pretty good. 

Good (is the fun) and pretty (everything else, the annoying, exasperating, just plain frustrating parts of my summer). 

The ‘pretty’ was stuff like too many hw deadlines (in summer mind you..), loud or whining children, and sleep (or lack thereof). 

There is lots of good though, I won’t deny it. Winning first place in arts for calligraphy at the county fair, relaxing (when I can get it), reading so so much Poirot, rehearsing for The Good Doctor, cooking, scrapbooking marathon! But I guess that’s how everything goes. A little good and a little.. not so good. The really glorious triumphs I have had this summer are quite high, actually. I have finally gotten my sister to open up to some other genre of book other than gushy mushy romance and she started stockpiling her reading time with good old Agatha Christie. If I survive this Urdu course I will definitely consider it a triumph. And finally, I have not abandoned posting on here even though I’ve been busy, which is perhaps the greatest triumph of them all. Final thoughts? Well, keep this in mind. Take any frustration or hard time as a lack of the good time or rather the fact that you forgot to make the best of it. It honestly works, you’ll start seeing and even having much more good :)
