To celebrate the height of summertime, I thought it would be fun to do a simple journal writing exercise.

At the top of your journal page, simply write, “Summer is”… then write. I love free writing exercises such as this. You never know what will come out. You may get in touch with a sense of gratitude about something you are experiencing now or you may be taken back for a moment in sweet nostalgia, reliving a sweet childhood summer memory…. whatever surfaces, you will have without a doubt a list of all things summer!

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.
