Good Morning! Summer days are passing quickly. Ready for a break in the hot, humid weather, but not ready for it to start getting dark earlier again. I would never make it in Alaska. It wouldn’t just be the cold that bothered me but the long stretches of darkness that they have. I want my sunlight!
What is your favorite season? Summer is my favorite, for the beach calls my name! Its voice is slowly getting louder and closer.
Enjoy the quotes and have a good day thinking about whatever makes you happy!

Yes, an “optimist”. I think he felt that just by being alive, he’d already won the lottery. And he spent his winnings well.
We lived near the coast in the US. At point, just a few blocks from a beach. It was a convenient distraction.

I long to live close to the beach, maybe someday. We live about 4 and 1/2 hours away. I am happy to at least be that close.

I’ll forget that I can walk down the street to a beach… but it’s a lake. No waves to surf… unless there’s a blizzard. Windsurfers on windy days… but that’s beyond my skill.
