\"Robin<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Starting today, I will find a thousand things to be joyful about this summer.<\/h4>\n

Petunias, wildflowers, the perfume of cut grass, crisp salads, dogs in life jackets, fireflies, campfires, berry-picking, polished toenails, green, the nightly frog chorus, the sun, thunderstorms, Cayuga Lake, afternoons on a boat with friends, sweet time \u2026<\/h4>\n

When she wasn\u2019t feeling sick, every day was a party for my daughter. Every summer was an adventure. Marika didn\u2019t get enough summers. To honor her I will embrace every opportunity to laugh and have fun.<\/h4>\n
