    There isn’t just one thing, summer outdoor concerts, sailing on Narragansett Bay and seeing beautiful sunsets, annual visit to my friend’s Lake Cottage to visit with my HS friends, going out for ice cream listening to the birds early in the morning, having lots of day light and finding new fun things to explore!

    The relaxed spaciousness and ease of day to day living. As George Gershwin wrote in 1934, ‘Summertime… and the living is easy’… (even if/ as/when it is not always so ….) 🙂

    The long, sunny days. The cool nights. Children playing everywhere. It is my favorite time of the year.

    The flowers that are in full bloom! Temps have been above normal in recent days but today is cloudy, breezy and offered me a very pleasant morning walk. I love looking at all the flowers as I walk the neighborhood and chatting with folks who are outdoors. I’ve met so many nice people on my walks.

    I attended a secular ritual on Saturday that is led by one of my cousins. We met in a park in Kansas City and the topic was the importance of taking time to “play.” We blew bubbles; we played catch with beach balls; we put flower wreaths on our heads and did a simple dance to the tune of the “Lord of the Dance” singing: Dance, dance wherever you may be, I am the Queen of the dance you see; I live in you and you live in me; and, I lead you all in the Dance, said she!” People were stopping by, smiling and encouraging us. It was delightful. Just a bunch of older ladies having a good time. One lady who was walking her dog, thanked us and said that we inspired her.

    Thank you all for sending me messages of kindness, love and encouragement. And may you all find time to “play” today.

      I love your telling of the dance,
      dear Carol . . .
      it makes me think of the circle dances
      my friend in the UK used to do
      until just a few years ago . . .
      what a delight. ♥

    Just one thing? 😁
    It could be the fact that I’m sitting outside in the cool morning air, having my coffee. I love this.

    Being able to go outside in the morning and have the kids play in the backyard. Being light out later. Being outside and then the feeling of accomplishing something at the end of the day
