'No Kings' protesters and the Boston Pride Parade brought joyous smiles to participants. Stan Grossfeld/Globe Staff Boston Harborfest fireworks over the Seaport.

When those bells went ding, ding, ding, she made the first turn out the door, clutching her artwork, looking as if she just received the checkered flag. Her journey is just beginning but it is already filled with joy. The lesson here is to savor every second of summer. Somehow it defies any logic of time. It goes by quicker than an Aroldis Chapman fastball and feels shorter than a flash from a firefly. Stop and smell the roses, they are in perfect bloom right now on Nantucket.

The Expressway is a misnomer and that one digit salute that the fellow motorist just flashed is not a 'We're number one sign.' Championship sports parades will not come in droves this year, but the 'No Kings' parade held last month showed as much passion as any of them. There's a reason that this is the Cradle of Liberty. There is hope. Advertisement Look for happiness and you will find it. It's in the salty breezes wafting off the ocean. The fiery sunsets with even more brilliant afterglows. No season offers less darkness, the opportunity to wear barely any clothes, drink ice cold beer, go barefoot, and have fun. People 'ooh and ahh' watching fireworks paint the sky, but sparks of beauty are everywhere. Enjoy them.
