I could add so many more pictures to this blog. SUMMER is special and such a gift. I feel grateful to have 2 whole months off. It's good to reflect because at this time of year I can feel work creeping in. I start to feel anxious, and frustrated and annoyed and I can't always put my finger on it. I start to feel like "I need my own time." AND I know that this is my body's way of pushing my kids away, so that I can start to detach from our time together so that I can accept that I'll be back to work. I don't love it. AND yet it's all part of the process for sure.
We have traveled, we have swam, we have watched many shows/movies. I finally watched 3 episodes of Bluey. I attempted to play video games with the boys. I have almost read 2 books, AJ is still kicking my butt. Ryker, Dempsey and I have created a couple dances in the pool. We have gone to Rogers Grove, a big ask from AJ this year. We have synced up with friends. We have gone to Union on a whim, several times. We have come up with fun contests-that include the pool. We have boated, We have camped, not as much as last year. We have hiked a bit, not as much as I wanted to.
It's weird, I can look at all the things I wished I would have done--but then it robs me of the joy of all the things that we have done. So I'm going to work on letting that go and really celebrate another successful summer. We ain't done yet...a few more things next week.
The seasons change.
