Take A Ten Second Summer Vacation During The Polar Vortex
By @GeorgeJFox
It's been one of the worst winters I can remember. The last time I was overwhelmed by mother nature I was about five years old and up to my waist in snow. The winters have been seemingly light in recent years. Am I right? This is ridiculous. We need a break!
We can all use a ten second vacation. Let's try to go there in our minds.
I know it's difficult amid the brutal cold, hour-long commutes and mountains of snow, but I'll help. Read along and gaze into the photos.
Can you remember ... ?
When the sun was high, pleasantly warm and didn't blind you on your commute.
Dogs were playing in a pool. This should help. Are you coming around yet?
Freshly cut grass and barbecue on the breeze.
When the heat became too much -- it never felt better to splash in a sprinkler.
Hot sand on the beach or soft waves rocking you on the boat.
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr. Why ... ? Because kittens.
Ice cream after a long hot day of working or playing.
Fresh local fruits and vegetables ... oh how I've missed you.
Sitting outside and listening to Tigers baseball.
Hitting the links and sinking a 10 foot putt.
Playing pickup basketball at the park.
Okay, if none of this is working. Here's my last try.
A puppy on a beach.
Still not there with me? Oh well, shut your blinds, make some popcorn and binge watch "Hart of Dixie."
