If you're anything like me, the winter straight up sucks. Nothing makes me sadder than having to put on a winter jacket and snow boots. I would much rather not have to think about my choice of shoes and just throw on my favorite pair of flip flops. But we all have to get through it somehow. So to my all of my summer lovers, here are 20 thoughts and feelings to help you get through the next couple of months–until we get to experience them again.
1. The sound your flip flops make as you walk to the beach
2. The burning of the soles of your feet when they hit the dunes
3. The smell of fresh cut grass as the sun sets in the neighborhood
4. The chlorine sting in your eyes after a day in the pool
5. The bite into your first summer cheeseburger
6. Seeing the tan lines and freckles you got all in one day
7. The stiff, salty, feeling in your skin after a day at the beach
8. The singing of the ice cream truck coming from down the street
9. The screeching of seagulls and hum of waves
10. Throwing a sundress over your fresh tan for a dinner with the family
11. The rush of the cold water when you first dive into a wave
12. Finding the perfect piece of sea glass
13. Running down to the shore to "feel" the water
14. Taking the top off of the Jeep
15. Hearing the boom of fireworks above your head
16. The warm fuzzy feeling of the suns rays tickling your body
17. Having a natural perfume of bug spray and sunscreen every day
18. Being able to call your friends to go on adventure no matter what the hour
19. Forgetting what hour of the day it is while sitting on your porch with your family
20. The enjoyment of outdoor showers after a long day in the sun
21. Watching the sun dip below the horizon of the ocean
22. Only having to worry if the tide is going to catch up to your chair
