๐Ÿ’› Summer heat is a gift? ๐Ÿ’›

Montalut Daily Rhythm

โ€œร‡ok sicakโ€ is the new โ€œHelloโ€ these days, with summer going strong, even hitting 53ยฐC ๐Ÿ”ฅ. So thankful we found a summer school for the little one, to keep her mind off the heat and still have outdoor playtime in the shade.

๐ŸŒฆ Life in four seasons takes getting used to, especially on days of extreme weather like today. The passing of time is more felt too, as opposed to the endless summers of the tropics. Thereโ€™s a hurriedness in the background, like an everyday ticktocking.โฐ๏ธ Itโ€™s both a constraint, something that limits what can be done โ€œwhile the sun is outโ€, and also a movement, something that pushes you forward, even when youโ€™re not ready.

Itโ€™s definitely an interesting feeling, perhaps a great recipe for creating: you get excited with all the changes in natureโ€“so many new things happening all around, if you pay attention!๐ŸŒค And you also get the pressure of deadlinesโ€“if you wait around, the moment will pass and you miss out.๐ŸŒฌ

Iโ€™m thankful to experience this for the first time in the Mediterranean, where the culture prioritizes balance and taking oneโ€™s time.

๐Ÿ’› On Yellow Day mornings when the house is quiet and the birds ๐Ÿฆ sing their songs, letโ€™s remember to just take it all in and roll with the moment, especially when things get extreme. Thereโ€™s a gift somewhere there, thatโ€™s allowing us to push and create.
