My family has been in full blown summer mode. We had a friend stay with us for a few weeks and we suddenly became tourists in our lovely town. We visited museums, our favorite eateries, and the beach again and again.

There is something about the beach that makes my heart swell and my soul take long, life-giving breaths. I can feel my body soaking up the sunlight, taking in the salt air, and resting in the ocean breeze.

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude. ~Jeanne Moreau

At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun.
~Sandy Gingras

How are you filling your summer days? How are you choosing to capture them so you can hold on to their warmth during the cool, winter months?
