Happy first day of June! After the long weekend and the beginning of a new month it truly feels like summer is finally here. Oh and these 90 degree days are definitely feeling like summer. Usually I do a bucket list at the start of the new season, but this time I’m doing something different. I created a summer joy list of things that bring me joy during the season. These aren’t things that need to be crossed off my to-do list, but instead little reminders of what I love about this season. Maybe you can relate to some of these and create your own joy list. When you live in Michigan the summer is truly a magical season. Do you know what I mean? I hope you find endless moments of joy to savor this summer.
