My typing hands protest, on strike.
My phoning fingers, they don’t like.
My donors bellow, “Take a hike!”
I look outside at tourists laughin’
funning and sunning and summer lovin’
light-deprived, I seethe inside, kinda hatin’.
My will is weak, body’s weaker
I dream of all things greener
Dare I take a little breather?
Yessir!
+++++++++++++++++++++
Just a little easy breezy summer post. Whichever hemisphere you’re in, do you respond to the season’s call?
I’m trading in my laptop and BlackBerry-buzzing for some tank tops, flip flops and cherry-picking for a short while. Will be back before you know it!

Looking forward to the three day weekend. Finally feels like summer here (Boston), so I’m working on some rhythm changing ideas!
Belinda, enjoy your breather . Cherry picking? sounds like fun. I am sure your son will enjoy. I’ve been feeling more laid back since summer arrived. Enjoy the sunshine.
Oh yes I love Summer!
oh yeah time to break free…just put the phone on hold…haha…
Dare to enjoy your break! I think I need one, too.
My son calls me a vampire. When the sun comes out, I hide. Too many sunburns in the course of a lifetime.
Summer time is play time. No play–your brain turns to rock. Enjoy your cherry-pickin an grinnin’
Have fun!
and when you get back: take the laptop and phone outside if you can
Flip flops and tank tops – sounds like summer fun to me! I need to get off this computer and head out myself. Enjoy your break.
Enjoy your break!
‘Tis the season to close the laptop, isn’t it? I think you’ve inspired me to do the same. Why am I inside writing instead of outside playing on such a beautiful summer day?
Sounds good to me. Have a happy Fourth.
Everyone needs a break from reality…even if it’s only 10 minutes! Nicely done!
Belinda….
I’m sorry, Those cherries are making my mouth DROOL!!!
Loved your 55
Thanks for playing…You need a Breather.
Please have a Kick Ass Fourth of July
Dare I take a breather?
You know, I think I shall . . . although there’s no cherries around here, there is a pool that’s been calling to me.
How fun Belinda!
I love this summer breeze -festive- post

Hope you enjoy your flip flops, tank tops and cherry picking!
I love this poem! You started out in first gear with the first stanza, then kicked it into overdrive in the second, then we landed softly in the final stanza.
Go on, Girl! Take that needed break and make everything you can out of it.
Namaste………cj
Tank tops, flip flops and cherry picking? Sounds like heaven to me!
you go, lady…cherries await… & the laptop/smart phone will always power up when you return, enjoy~
What a perfect way to share that the summer is calling you. I know I get much less motivated when I know a vacation is nearing. It’s call is loud. Listen and enjoy!
Enjoy yourself. When summer rolls around, the urge to play cannot be ignored. It’s nice for the phone and laptop to take a back seat.
Enjoy it girl!
It’s pretty hot here and although it’s countryside where I stay; yet all I can go out is for farm veggie shopping.. that too hasn’t happened since long- since I don’t drive.. yeah the weather n pollution would kill you if you were to walk!
Sunday hugs xox
Belinda — When one person in the blogosphere sneezes, does everyone get a cold?Wow. I can’t believe how many people are taking breaks. Mind you, this is a good thing!!! Also, I can’t talk as I just returned from two weeks off. There is something about summer that demands “time off.”
I hope you have a great break full of “funning and sunning and summer lovin’:~)
I loved it.. Have a nice day!
