Breezin’ Through Summer Pickin’ Up Seashells

Summer Seashells

I’ve been listening to seashells
to hear the stories that they tell

Sand Dollars by 311 (Written by Nick Hexum and Scott Ralston)

Summer seashells.
Searching for seashells
after a long night’s rain,
following footprints left in the sand.

Summer seashells.
Troves of treasure line the beach,
tucked between seaweed,
as the waves gently breathe.

Summer seashells.
Shells spread across the sand
like sprinkles on a cupcake-
small ones, large ones,
smooth ones, rough ones.

Summer seashells.
Conches, scallops, snails,
mussels, oysters, and sand dollars.
Your favorites seem to jump out at you.

Summer seashells.
Placed in pockets or buckets,
each one has a story
waiting to be told.

Summer seashells remind us:
To walk with anticipation.
To notice what’s in front of us.
To bend down and pick up what speaks to us.
To treasure the moments of simple pleasures.

Lata opens the door with a seashell wreath hanging from it and greets me with open arms.

This summer,

May your days be like the sound of the ocean you hear from a seashell- bold, yet gentle, mysterious yet calming.
May each seashell remind you to breathe in the crisp sea air as you move through your day.

Breezin’ Through Summer Singin’ in the Rain

Summer Rain

I’m singin’ in the rain,
just singin in the rain.
What a glorious feelin’
I’m happy again.

I’m Singin’ in the Rain, Sung by Debbie Reynolds & Gene Kelly | Written by Harry Warren & Arthur Freed

Summer Rain
Clouds dance in the sky,
like a couple swaying cheek to cheek.

Summer Rain
Clouds fluffy and white,
turn dark and gray
looking like day turning to night.

Summer Rain
Drops falling gently from the trees,
tap, tap, tap on your head with
one landing on your nose.

Summer Rain
Kids play outside,
stomping in puddles,
smelling of sweet summer grass.

Summer Rain teaches us:
Play outside and enjoy the moment.
It’s okay to get wet and to let loose.
Maybe even pause long enough
to grab an umbrella and sing in the rain.

The grass is a luscious green. Between the sprinklers and God’s glistening rains, the grass gets all the water it needs.

– Nadia Crane, Wine & Faith – 19 Days in Napa

This summer,

May the summer rain speak to your soul.
Let the rain lead you outside to sing in the rain.
May each day that rains make you feel happy and light.

Breezin’ Through Summer Under the Hot Summer Sun

Summer Sun

Just lay down in the summer sun
The good vibrations will come (ooh-yeah)

Like Ice in the Sunshine (Big Band) by the Angels

Summer Sun.
Hot August days.
Walkin’ on a boardwalk,
on a hot summer day.
Can you feel the vibrations of bikes wizzin’ by?

Summer Sun.
Hot August days.
Layin’ on a towel,
with hot sand underneath.
Can you feel the vibrations of waves rollin’ in?

Summer Sun.
Hot August days.
Watchin’ the train chuggin’ along,
sweat drippin’ down your back.
Can you feel the vibrations of the train on the tracks?

Summer Sun.
Hot August days.
Makin’ sweet tea,
in the hot summer sun.
Can you hear the vibrations of water bubblin’ away?

Summer Sun reminds us:
To go slow.
To pause.
To stop long enough
to feel and hear the vibrations
we miss when ordinary days are rushin’ by.

“Jill, you have to try the Chardonnay. It’s like sunshine in a glass.”

– Nadia Crane, Wine & Faith – 19 Days in Napa

This summer,

May the summer sun brighten your spirit, warm your soul, and bring you more vibrations with each passin’ day.
May they remind you how we are connected
to everything around us.
