1.
Start a collection of sea-adventure books or any summer reads you can get lost in. Stack them on your coffee table or a shelf to inspire you to slow down and savor lazy summer days.
2.
Hang a hammock and set aside regular time to relax and read a few times a week. Allow yourself the luxury of an occasional afternoon nap to recharge.
3.
Bring out your old postcards and hang them from a length of string. Even if you don’t travel this year, the display will give your space a vacation feel and spark pleasant memories.
4.
Browse garage sales for classic outdoor games like croquet, horseshoes, or bocce. Look for finds after local barbecues and community events to create fun afternoons with friends and family.
What will YOU do this summer to create some summer bliss?
