Today I found this cute, flower weight for my desk. It reads, “Do more of what makes you happy.”

Summer is in full swing now with its 85-100 degree heat here in Missouri.

Many of us have to work, but it’s important to take time out to relax and have FUN! To do what makes you happy.

It might be getting some adorable, new heart socks like I bought today. (I’m a heart girl!)

It might be something as simple as a hot bubble bath with deliciously scented candles.

But whatever you decide to do this summer, make sure it’s fun and makes you happy.

And make this summer count.

Coffee with God in the sunroom

In the morning and afternoon I love to sit in our sunroom, watching the birds at our feeders and have coffee with God.

My sunroom: red geranium, green plant & red flowered cactus
