Joyful Simplicities

There are a lot of things that come around in June that we don't or can't do any other time of the year.  Maybe you could try some of these!

  • Catch lightning bugs or fireflies on the lawn at twilight.  Remember doing this as a kid?
  • Enjoy a frosty pitcher of lemonade and conversation when you come home from work.
  • Be on the lookout for a strawberry festival, or another type of summer fruit festival
  • Remember that ice cream is good for the soul, so grab yourself a scoop!
  • Buy a whole watermelon and keep it in the refrigerator for a day so it gets good and cold; cut into large pieces and sit on the porch.  How far can you spit a seed??
  • Hang a hammock and lie in it while enjoying a cool summer breeze
  • Even if you can't head for the mountains, camp out in the backyard.  Grill some hot dogs, cook some s'mores over a campfire, pitch a tent and pull out the sleeping bags
  • Treat yourself to a fetching straw hat!
  • Paint your toenails red
  • Even if you don't have room for a "real" garden, try growing two or three things in containers
  • Plant rosemary for remembrance, and while you're at it, add in some parsley, sage, and thyme
Whether you choose one or all of them, enjoy your summer! 
Life is too short to not take care of your soul
