How to Have a Happy Summer

Befriend the young;
they're fun to hang out with,
see it all fresh and have unfettered hearts.






Befriend other women;
they walk our path,
mirror our souls and lend their comfort.






Befriend other couples;
they are mentors,
supporters and cheerleaders.





Play games;
they keep you sharp and happy
and give you a way to connect with the young.




Go out for coffee;
find a cafe that writes happy messages to you
and serves little sweet extras to start your day right.




Hope your summer is a happy one. Better yet, make it happy! What would that look like for you?

      I'm glad you stopped by. Reading is also one of my great loves. No day is complete without it.

      Here's a fun fact about the coffee- the man who does this speaks Italian but wanted to do something extra for his customers. He's been experimenting (and I think viewing you tube) and delights us each day.

      I've been delighted by the young ones in my life and I like haviing gaming as a way to connect with them. My grandson taught me that.
