Summer holidays
This is the feeling of the summer holidays.
The feeling of almost sleepiness, having just finished a good book. Knowing that there is another to read when you are ready for it and have completely digested this one. There is the sound of children playing just outside the window, not quiet, and not helpful if you are trying to work, but a relaxed sound. The sound of children enjoying the sun that is shining brightly for once. There is a slight breeze, and it is actually sligtly warmer than is ideal. But it is holidays and you have no time constraints whatsoever.
Your desk is covered with fun projects that you want to complete and will choose to complete at your leasure. You are reminded of the times that you spent playing in gardens and parks with friends and siblings. Good times, with the fun, simple games of childhood. Reminded of books read in the garden, or by the pool, surrounded by friends and family.
This is the feeling of the summer holidays. This is the feeling of the Christmas holidays, and it is a good feeling. Even though you have grown much older, there will always remain a feeling that this is what the summer holidays should be.
