It’s SUMMER!

Nights on my patio
Outdoor swimming

Green grass & growing fields
The sunset reflected in my porch door
Because you woke up this morning
To cheer up someone else
When you think of someone special
Your best childhood memory
Libraries are full of free books
When you hear a child laugh
Because there are green trees and smiling flowers on this planet
The night is full of stars and moonlight and lovely silence
It’s scientifically proven to elevate your mood
Beauty is everywhere if you look hard enough
You have internet access
You will probably eat a meal today
Most likely more than one
Sunshine
Late spring smells like rain and earth and allergies
When you go on a walk
When you go to your job
When a complete stranger smiles at you first
Because life is too short to spend in a foul mood
Because today is an opportunity to do something you’ve never done before
Because you choose to be happy
