The Summer Solstice – A Time to Fall in Love With Your Life Practice falling in love with your life, inviting in dancing, laughter, fun, fruits, salads and music. Pay attention to the flowers around you, delight in the colors, sounds and scents everywhere and let yourself smile and express delight and joy. Notice the children playing in your neighborhood. Let their joy infect you. Hop on a swing in the park, skip down the street, jump in a puddle of water. Get some finger paints and go wild. Crank up the dance music and move your body. Eat more summer fruits, have a picnic by the river, enjoy a cold cool salad. Dip your feet in the ocean and go for a swim. The more you practice feeling joyful, the more joy you will experience. Expand your capacity to receive love and joy. Like any new skill, the more you practice, the better you will get at it. So, start right now!
