While according to the calendar the summer season doesn't begin until June 21st, it is always summer in my mind !
I used to live for the summer, the beach, the warm air, the suns warmth on my body, the sounds of crickets, the site of fireflies and the beautiful blue skies. Nothing got me more excited than that the summer months were virtually here!
This outlook was very draining as I wished away the seasons awaiting summer. I had to make a shift in my thinking to embrace every season as a gift and a blessing as it really is! I  came to realize I had a choice to look at things on the bright side or from the sunny disposition that summer brings all year long, even during those " dreary" winter months.  I have learned to allow that sweet and everlasting Summer sun to shine in my heart all year long! By making this choice I was open to what each season had to offer , and there were plenty of sunny moments. No I did not need a tanning salon or expensive vacation!
I am talking about the mindset . The mind is a very powerful tool! In my mind I visualize each day the image of the sun, the warmth it brings, the sounds of waves and this gives me my daily sunny disposition. As Jimmy Buffet says " You can take the weather with you!"

What can you do to make each day a little brighter?
What summer image would you like to carry with you all year long?
In the meantime enjoy this sweet season of summer while it is here!
Perhaps  this summer start  journaling  your happy moments of summer and review your journal all year long !
