CIMPLE – A Curious Introvert's Musings & Photos about Life and Enjoyment

I’ve been trying to figure out what I can blame for my lack of motivation during these dog days of summer and I’m still searching for answers.

Could it be the very depressing state of what is happening in our country? The fact that I’ve been watching South Park for the first time might answer that question.

Or can I also blame a lack of ice cream because the cones usually melt on my shirt or Harper’s head.

Then again, maybe it’s not enough real bird photography or

trying to switch to street photography.

All I do know is that my plans of biking, photography, miniature golf and kayaking went out the window last month when nerve pain in my shoulder and arm occurred from a pinched nerve in my neck. Paddleboarding has never been in my thoughts since I only imagine myself falling off the paddleboard, but I liked the clouds in this photo.

Other than too many doctor appointments, I think I’ve had the laziest summer of my life and am starting to embrace and not question the lack of motivation. Good books, movies and tv shows have made a hot and humid summer go by very fast and along with those, the number one priority of finding a great hot coffee.
