Dear Taichung Happiers,

What are the two most beautiful words in the English language? Well, Henry James, (15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916), one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism, embraced “summer afternoon”.

Summer! It’s time for mushroom hunting. It’s time to start dreaming about what you will smell, hear, taste, and feel under the sun. Most importantly, it’s time to come back home to Happy English Club again! Our host Joey is inquiring what brings you summer joy. Join us! Thanks. (And your friends will be warmly welcomed as well.)

Summer is the season of freshness and beauty. The morning dew, the grass in sunshine, the rainbow of butterflies....... And, hey, how can we afford to miss this tweet? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01s6xyk The fresh air in summer is encouraging us to revitalize an open mind with anything interesting and intriguing and refocus our energies toward everything we choose. May the freshness of summer inspire our journey of pursuing authentic happiness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZdl0kRFG7w

With summer, comes stimulant. Swedish entomologist and literary critic Fredrik Sjöberg is reluctant to sleep at summer nights. “Every summer there are a number of nights, not many, but a number, when everything is perfect. The light, the warmth, the smells, the mist, the birdsong – the moths. Who can sleep? Who wants to?” Hummm…….close your eyes, take a deep breath, and picture what summer stimulation you will encounter. Ice cream! Yes, please! The list of summer food pleasure is endless, yet the Heidi’s toasted cheese leads the way to my sweetest memory. http://distractify.com/pinar/fictitious-dishes/?variant=&v=1 So excited about my re-visit to Switzerland later this summer. All right, and, either you add beaches to your summer bucket list or not, you will be pleasantly struck by this curious boy on the beach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxmSpQqKUU0

“Summer is a period of luxurious growth.” American author Paul Pitchford admonishes us to “awaken early in the morning and reach to the sun for nourishment to flourish as the gardens do. Work, play, travel, be joyful, and grow into selfless service. The bounty of the outside world enters and enlivens us.” So, how do you plan your summer exploration? Take a summer reading adventure and share your list. How about summer adventure trip? Check out how Mr. 詹宏志’s most unforgettable travel experience is all about searching for his favorite books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5GnNaoep-g (start at 4:42) Moreover, what summer magic surprises you most? You’d better watch out. I am telling you why. Summer Ninja is coming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTQ76zO4_wo

From “Summer Sun” (by Robert Louis Stevenson)

Meantime his golden face around
He bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and glittering look
Among the ivy’s inmost nook.

Above the hills, along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing true,
To please the child, to paint the rose,
The gardener of the World, he goes.

What is another name of summer but glory? Every summer day is a gift; you can wrap it in excitement, exploit, and innovation. Who is the Summer Super Hero? You are! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sGOwFVUU0I&app=desktop




With Gratitude,
Jasmine
