Sharing with you today's "Thursday Tip of the Day". Embrace and enjoy your summer!

Reconnect with friends, family, yourself. Put on your flip flops and shorts. Enjoy the beach, mountains, rivers, cities, planes and trains - wherever your summer will take you.

"In the words of Chris Erskine, Writer, from his column this week, titled "Summer Love", I quote:

"I prefer a summer day that yawns a little. I like a moon that stays up late.

It's the heart of summer. Eat some custard. Count your blessings. Breathe deep the sea.

Didn't Joni Mitchell write something about "the hissing of summer lawns"? How evocative. ..."

I hope you enjoy your summer and am taking my own advice, taking a break for the next two weeks to "breathe deep the sea" (Erskine) and to listen to "the hissing of summer lawns" (Mitchell). I hope you are able to do the same, wherever you find yourself. Happy Summer and enjoy this short podcast episode.
