Beach vacations. Pool time. Swimsuits and ice cream. Long days, short nights, sunshine, warm weather, and  holidays. Dresses, bare feet, hats and smile! Is it any wonder that we associate the summer months with feeling happy and carefree?

When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

"Summertime. It was a song. It was a season. I wondered if that season would ever live inside me."

Benjamin Alire Sáenz

"You are so much sunshine in every square inch."

Walt Whitman

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadows."

Helen Keller
