Savoring the Summer
Jul 16, 2024
I hope you have been leaning into the challenge this month to slow down, simplify, savor, and soak up your summer.
If there’s one thing life has taught me thus far, it’s that life is to be lived with intention and with the people you love most. Don’t miss an opportunity to hug a friend or tell someone you love them - these memories and moments together are precious!
In an effort to keep things simple this week, I’m sharing a list I’ve compiled from the corners of the internet with different ways that people savor summertime.
Do what you want with this list – it could serve as a kind of “bingo” where you engage in a purposeful moment each day, with the goal of savoring your summer. Maybe it inspires you to write your own list!
Your list could be full of things you've already cherished this summer and things you are looking forward to savoring in the coming month. However you choose to proceed, I hope that you will spend a few moments reflecting on your summer and planning for the few weeks you have left.
Which of these speaks to you???
- Eat one of those 3-colored popsicles
- Blow bubbles
- Have a picnic with homemade sandwiches on a checkered blanket
- Grill all the meats and veggies
- Go to a baseball game and do the wave
- Smell the flowers
- Make yourself a cocktail or mocktail by the pool with the inflatable flamingos
- Fall asleep outside (the bliss!)
- Stay off your phone and social media as much as you can
- Make campfire s’mores
- Act like a tourist in your own city for a day
- Run through a sprinkler
- Have a beach day and jump in the ocean (no matter how cold it is!)
- Watch a movie outside at night
- Unleash your inner artist with sidewalk chalk
- Stay outside all day long!
- Lose yourself in a beach read or fantasy novel that transports you somewhere else
- Ride a Ferris wheel
- Make a delicious seasonal fruit dessert (think fruit: tarts, pies, ice creams, and/or crisp!)
Wishing you a simplified summer worth savoring!
