Bliss List: Summer Edition

 This blog post is intended to make you feel good.

As you read each of these, imagine the sensation for yourself:

• Walking past fresh strawberries at the market and catching a whiff as you pass that makes you turn around and buy them
• The smell of fresh cut grass
• Walking past a blooming rose bush and catching the sweet scent on the air
• Planting tomatoes, then smelling your hands and catching a whiff of tomato leaf
  
  
• The contrast of blue sky, green grass, white clouds
• Everything in bloom at once
• The first sight of a veggie growing in your garden
• The sun reflecting off the water, as you can see it from a boat, kayak, or tube
  
  
• All the birds singing at once at dawn and dusk
• Outdoor concerts with your favorite band
• Kids laughing and splashing in a pool
  
  
• Walking through cool grass in bare feet
• Swimming in your favorite swimming hole, just floating in cool water
• The temperature of the air outside is so perfect that it feels neither hot nor cold, and there's a gentle breeze moving 
  
  
• The first bite of perfect flavorful summer tomatoes, sprinkled with salt
• Crunching into a fresh ear of corn, one that's perfectly cooked
• Maple creemees
• The taste that cold water has when you're really thirsty 

Write your own bliss list! 

You can write it looking forward, like a to-do list of experiences you want to cultivate.

Or you can write it as a record, keeping track of the bliss you've experienced recently.
