It is that time of year. The sun is out a little longer, the days are warm, the nights are cooler and the windows are open. This is actually a big deal to me. It is not because I am a Summer lover or anything. It is a big deal because of the windows being open.
I have a secret. I have a fear of leaving my windows open. Yep, it is true. I don't feel "like a breeze" when I keep them open, I feel a bit insecure and cautious. I love the sound of the birds at night, I love the cool breeze, I love the free feeling of the window open. What freaks me out is the fear of someone intruding on my home. Someone ruining that one special thing about having a window open. That being said, I have another confession. For the first time in years, I feel OK with having them open from time to time. I have moved so many times I can't even count them. But for some reason, in this spot, I feel OK with having the window open a bit. I know I would never have them open all night or when I am not home, but while I am home, I do enjoy the breeze a little more. I suppose I am letting that fear of mine lose and the possibilities of enjoying myself win.
It may sound silly or a bit strange, but we all have our vices. Mine is the insecurity of home invasion because I decided to enjoy my windows. But hey, it is Summer, right? So, before I turn in, I will enjoy the fresh breeze. Then, I will brush my teeth, put on my PJ's and make sure my house is locked up like Fort Knox. Ah, here is to a peaceful night's sleep.
-Blessings and Good Night!
