I can’t believe it is almost August, and time for work to start picking up again for the school year. I can’t believe that within a series of a few months, I’ll be moving, presenting, and training all over the place again.
This was the perfect weekend to relax and prepare for the onslaught ahead.
Saturday and Sunday were beautiful and sunny. On Saturday, I spent the early afternoon at the pool, re-reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and enjoying the warmth, water, and the airplanes on the flight path over my head.
Later in the afternoon, S and I took a weekend drive and hiked the Blue Hills. After that late week thunder storm extravaganza we had up here, the weather couldn’t have been better for a hike – bright with continually cool breezes wafting over us.
We then went for a snack run and settled in for an evening of a movie (Tropic Thunder – really funny) and Pictionary (the most funny thing we do as a family perhaps).
Sunday was a day of cleaning, organizing, and getting a jumpstart on the work week.
A quote has been playing on my mind recently – “What if you woke up with only those things that you’d thanked God for yesterday?”
Whatever your belief system, this can really hit home. How many moments do we truly appreciate, express gratitude for, and value each day? How many of the blessings in our lives do we actively accept and rejoice in?
This weekend was a chance for me to slow down and begin again.
