Having a good summer so far?

Also,for all you folks, here is some info regarding the Mercury retrograde period we are in from an astrologer:
During this time,(and two weeks before, and two weeks after) you will notice computer problems, car problems, anything to do with communication-not the best time for this. Also,people from the past come back but dont communicate well at this time.
Mercury is going retrograde during the early part of July until around July 25th. We are currently in that prodromal stage where things begin to get sluggish and we feel that inner irritability of nothing progressing fast enough, we are waiting for the "other shoe to drop" and Murphy's law to hit with a vengence.
It's not the best time for taking trips, meeting new potential lovers, signing contracts, accepting new jobs.
It's a time to reflect and take stock of what works for us and what doesn't. It's a time to focus on ourselves, where we can make things better within ourselves. It can be an exceptionally self centered time, if we are not careful.
As the planet of communication goes backwards, we become less attentive and focused on those near and dear to us and more concerned with "what's in it for me" attitude. This can be very healthy. It can also play havoc with our relationships. Old lovers can turn up on our doorstep, ring our phone, send us e-mails.
This is what we have been hoping for, no? But, with the planetary influences being what they are, we are inclined to take them down a few pegs, let them know just where they fell short, and assert our "rights". DON'T DO IT!
Just as we are feeling emotionally vulnerable, and needing to defend our boundaries and our needs, the same holds true for our loved ones. So you see, nothing can get accomplished fast. In fact, things can take a very dicey, and unpleasant turn.
It is very easy to avoid this pitfall. Remember, we all want love, we all want validation, we all want to feel we are being heard and understood. A gentle, compassionate approach works wonders now. Yes, it might be time to state our position with our significant other. But do it with kindness. If the other person feels understood, and respected and chances are we will receive far more than we hoped.
When we truly love, there is no ego. There are only hearts reaching out, trying to understand. Each Mercury retrograde gives us the opportunity to peel back another layer of ego, so that we can radiated our highest selves. Our love is never wasted. What we desire is already ours in the Eternal Now. If we can hold on to this awareness, we can come through this time with greater understanding and a deeper sense of love and commitment. In addition, the ones we hold so dear will come through with a greater awareness of who we are, and what it is we are offering.
