How I Finally Started Savoring Summer (Instead of Letting It Slip Away)
“It was already November — and I hadn’t even opened the fall decorations.”
Mara stood at the window, looking out at her backyard. The sun was glowing, the sky was soft, and the garden was buzzing. But her kitchen table was still cluttered with unopened summer craft kits and untouched seasonal checklists.
Once again, she had planned for summer — but somehow forgot to live it.
“I wait all year for these warm, golden days… then blink and realize I missed them.”
☀️ The Emotional Pain of Summer Lovers
If you adore summer — the smell of ripe fruit, the hum of cicadas, the way evenings stretch endlessly — it can feel heartbreaking when those moments are swallowed up by noise, work, logistics, and scroll fatigue.
For Mara, it wasn’t about “doing more” summer activities.
It was about being more present in the ones that mattered.
🌸 Her Shift Came in the Simplest Way
One Saturday, Mara set out a pitcher of lemonade and joined her daughter under the umbrella in the backyard. No phones. No plans. Just two people, two glasses, and one book they’d forgotten on the shelf:
👉 Dreaming Flowers Bloom Adult Coloring Book by Medeea Publishing House.
They opened it on the table between them.
And for an hour, they just colored. Breezes passed. Time stretched. The page filled with pinks, oranges, and soft summer purples.
“That was the first time I felt the season in my body — not just in my calendar.”
🌿 How to Slow Down and Soak Up Summer
You don’t need a vacation. You need a ritual.
Here’s how Mara brought summer back into her life:
1. Choose a Summer-Feeling Coloring Book
Not a theme park. Not a packed event. A book with nature, blooms, stillness — something that brings the outside inside.
👉 Dreaming Flowers Bloom Adult Coloring Book is perfect for this — filled with soft, garden-inspired illustrations that reflect the season's calm beauty.
2. Pair It With Sensory Anchors
Summer isn’t just seen — it’s tasted, smelled, felt. Add a bowl of cherries, a linen napkin, iced mint tea, bare feet, a breeze. Coloring + senses = presence.
3. Pick a Weekly Time — and Honor It
Mara chose Sunday afternoons. She calls it “coloring hour.” Just her, her daughter, and the season, captured one page at a time.
