What is this and how to celebrate this

I’m always a summer girl. It is not as comfortable as falls, loudly as winter, or optimistic like spring. Summer Heat stands on one’s own, loud time in the year. If joy is a taste, leak-your watermelon bite, and reach a cannonball from the diving board. Nights long lengths in golden time, even if lightning bugs return their electricity charm. Everything in the world is feeling well when it is kissed by the day.

So you can imagine my happiness when I was asked to write a guide to Celebrate Summer Solstice.

One of my favorite people in the summer is my mother-in-law – a woman named Margaret, in a place that began her own “marguerite” because she felt it was so good. .

While others play tennis and overflowing children in the club, marguerite spent on his days of gardening and meditation. And if most families gather for Christmas or Hanukkah in December, he will lead Winter Solstice-decked celebrations in silver and gold, dancing under the stars. In warm months, it is Maypoles, crown flowers, magic magic, and midsummer. It is amazing and memorable. I was taught to approach the world with an open heart approval and like a whimsy child.

Years ago, my beautiful mother-in-law suffered a debilitating and rare brain disease. Today is more than before, I find myself dependent on the memories of the traditions he brings in my life. For honoring his precious and inspiring spirit, I began to see the inclusion of some of his fierce ways to me own family in five.
