A Cool Breeze?

Today is the eleventh straight day that Middle Tennessee has had temps over the 100 degree mark. In my typical lazy man fashion I am using this extended heat wave to my advantage.
I have a long list of things that really need to be done around my house, but its just too hot :)

As I was puttering around my back yard this morning I could have sworn that I felt a cool breeze. It only lasted for a second, and it was just slightly cooler than the dry blistering air that surrounded me, but it gave me a chill. This phantom breeze rustled the leaves on the trees sending many of them falling to the ground. For just a split second it reminded me of Fall - my favorite time of year.

I spent the rest of the morning procrastinating and dreaming of the cooler days to come. I made a list of all the grand things that I will accomplish when the weather becomes more favorable.
It seems that I am always waiting for something. My list of dreams, goals and simple everyday chores keeps growing - but so does my list of excuses.

So I'm writing this simply to remind myself of this hot day in August. A day when I had all the time in the world and accomplished absolutely nothing. I plan on rereading this post in February when I'm sure that I will be procrastinating and dreaming of warm summer days. Yeah, that's when I'll get busy- that's when I'll get it all done.
