Smell every flower you passed
Walk in the rain
Catch raindrops on your tongue
Jump in every puddle you saw
Run through sprinklers
Go to the children’s playground
Swing on the swings
Go down the slide
Sing in the shower
Sing in the car
Sing in the rain
SING!
Dance to the radio
Dance with your husband/friend
Dance by yourself
Dance in the rain
DANCE!
Give your full attention to a sunrise
Give your full attention to a sunset
Go on a picnic at the beach, the park or in the back yard
Read aloud to another, let them read to you
Go to an amusement park and ride all the thrill rides
Go fishing.
Make homemade ice cream in a Ziploc bag.
Sit outside and sip iced tea.
Catch fireflies the let them go
Take pictures of everything
Join FaceBook and share your thoughts and pictures
Eat watermelon outside, and let the juice run all over the place!
Bite into a ripe tomato fresh from the vine
Paint your toenails.
Paint a picture of what summer means to you.
Lay under a tree and watch the wind in the branches
Climb the tree
Watch clouds
Watch stars
Write a letter to an old friend
Keep a gratitude journal
Keep a journal
Daydream
Dream

Wow, Perle! I love your sense of imagery. Lorri Hollingsworth here. I responded to your VN post this morning - thanks for the sharing. VN would not let me post in your comment - instead it sent me back to my original post - hope you can access it there. Just in case, I thought I would communicate with you through your blog ... and what a surprise. Dream - now that's something I need help with. My husband is a huge dreamer and is always trying to get me to loosen up. I am going to print out this blog if you don't mind and use it to inspire me. Please do contact me at (613) 678-7547 or email me at lorri@xplornet.com or skype me at lorri.hollingsworth - I think we might be good for each other!
Lovely piece! Are you by chance the Perle Champion who wrote the "Chimes" essay in the May/June 2008 issue of Victoria? Nice piece, and I'm glad I found your blog.
