You Are Awesome


In the beginning of the month, I asked what recent summer memories you wanted to re-live, even if just for a few moments. I loved reading your thoughtful answers! You guys are awesome and deserve more than 5 minutes of what you asked for, that’s for sure. 

Here are some of your answers to the question 
"what would you appreciate 5 minutes more of"?

“ I'd like to spend just five more minutes relaxing with family at my sister's in her yard. My cousin and his wife were there. We hadn't seen them for a while so it was fun to just hang out and talk. ” - Crystal

“ 5 more minutes hugging my loved ones… 
And oooh yes, 5 more minutes of those fantastic summer nights ” - Ellinelle

“ I would love 5 more minutes with my bf the other night. He came over in really cozy clothes and was on my bed while I putzed around doing stuff falling asleep. We were really content, not talking but so content and I loved looking over at him in sweats, on my bed, reading, fighting sleep 
- it was really cute and peaceful. I would love 5 minutes more of that! ” - Miss Caitlin S.

“ I'd love to have five more minutes inside the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. 
Or five more minutes baking under the sun with the sound of lapping waves. ” - Koryn

    I'd have the same answer with Ms Caitlin S. 5 more minutes of that. 5 more minutes of relaxation. 5 more minutes of just doing nothing, thinking of nothing. They're very simple things but things that we take for granted. Now that I'm so busy and everything is so stressful, I appreciate 5 more minutes of those things :)

    I hope you had a great week friend!

    Definitely, Maybe

    I agree with Joei! Life is so fast-paced this days, that we now miss the things we used to take for granted when we were young(er)--like staying still and being calm and relaxed :)

    5 more minutes sitting at swim team practice watching my kids have so much fun would be awesome! In fact, there are probably a lot of things I would like 5 more minutes of from this summer. It went by too fast.

    aw, love this!! Ellinelle sounds awesome but my Grammar makes me squirm a bit :) Koryn's sounds perfectly amazing as I haven't really experienced either of the experiences she mentioned. Saturday was our first official day of Fall so I guess those really are just memories now :)

    Such a sweet post. I'd love 5 more minutes of sleep this morning, but if I had 5 more minutes I could borrow, it would be with my dad.

    Awwww! I am so happy to read these responses. I would love five more minutes of the relaxation and care-free attitude that comes with summer. I always feel so stressed during the fall and spring because of school.

    There are so many "5 more minutes" that I wish for. From my personal experience, sometimes we will never have the luxury of 5 more minutes so I try to take advantage of the moment.

    My recollection of my last summer is a constant migraine and my salvation in the form of hemp botanics. I had never used this medicine before and was a little afraid of marijuana in general. It turned out that such a medicine relieves pain with systemic migraine much faster than pills. You can remember this life hack.
