savor the place, the time, that you invite inside
(Hey, stop skimming. Slow down. Appreciate the words.)
it's been a long time, wonderin why
summer smells like sin and wonder
feels like it's got inside of
a place, a time, i dream about when
i get a walk in
i'll let us always
the summer sun i can't go back to
the touch of your skin under my skin
look away, this sun's above us
now you know,
we'll look back up in time

The key component to effective savoring is focused attention. By taking the time and spending the effort to appreciate the positive, people are able to experience more well-being.
When things will soon come to an end we don’t take them for granted. We’re grateful, we savor them and we’re happier. Seek out those bittersweet moments because research shows they will help you appreciate things more.
People prone to joyful anticipation, skilled at obtaining pleasure from looking forward and imagining future happy events, are especially likely to be optimistic and to experience intense emotions. In contrast, those proficient at reminiscing about the past-looking back on happy times, rekindling joy from happy memories-are best able to buffer stress.
Anticipate with pleasure,
Savor the moment as I experience it,
Express my happiness to myself or others, and
Reflect on a happy memory.
