Life moves quickly, and it is easy to overlook the little things that bring us joy. Dianne shares some of the simple, everyday moments filling her soul this summer, from fresh garden produce and flowers to meaningful conversations, good books, exercise, and more.

When a friend mentioned this week that it’s nearly July 4th and summer is half over, I gasped. What? Half over? How did this happen? Seriously? As I get older, it feels that time just goes faster and faster. A blink and a month is gone. Two blinks and half of the year has zoomed by. Three blinks? I don’t want to think. And yet, I also deeply believe that we must appreciate and value every day. We just don’t know when something will happen and life will change.
