I can't wait...
Now that the school year has concluded, my schedule is wide open. Noticing throughout the year that my body was rebelling against my 7 day/week work schedule, forced me to take a look at taking some time off this summer. I used to wish for this time and I must admit, it has been challenging to slow down and just relax, but I am getting there and it feels great. I was sitting at the beach yesterday, waiting for a friend. I was remembering the days of juggling sand buckets, coolers, snacks, shovels, towels, beach blankets, strollers, and kids moving in ten different directions while trying to lather them up in sandy sun screen. It would take 3 hours to pack to go to the beach and on a good day we would be there for maybe just as long before out of pure exhaustion of not sitting for a second, I would just begin to pack up. I remember thinking, “I can’t wait until they’re all big enough to take themselves to the beach.” Wish granted!...
