Summer is my favorite season of the year. Probably because of all the light. But (this is going to sound weird, but I know you all know what I mean), sometimes I feel pressured to be happy during the summer because I know that I am getting as much light as the year has to offer, and that this is my happy season. So when I’m less than happy, I start to freak, because I think, “Oh God, if I am feeling like this is summer, think about what I will feel like in February!”
So it was with interest that I read Beliefnet’s Ansley Roan’s “10 Tips for a Soulful Summer.”
To get to the nice gallery, click here. It begins:
Ah, summer…it seems like the perfect time to nurture your soul. But chances are you can’t pack your bags for a three-month stay at a convent or an ashram. The good news is that as schedules change and days lengthen, you can do a few simple things to renew your soul and expand your spiritual horizons–and you don’t have to leave town to do it.

Horrible day.
But I’m going to sit outside with my geriatric bunny.
He likes the sun.
Thanks for reminding me today.

Eh…rules were made to be broken, like “Christmas in July”. If you have a good enough imagination (or you’re stark raving mad…anything is possible!)
