School's End

Well, tomorrow wraps up another year for my kids at school. 

Wow...I have no idea where this year has gone. I guess the better part of the harsh winter I was tied up with my dad's ailments, but aside from that, I must have blinked too long because I missed it! 

Once again, I am excited about this summer's activities. 

From now until my wedding in October, we are going to be busy. I have a retreat planned with one of my best buddies! We are going to a women's bootcamp retreat for 6 glorious days! There'll be hiking, yoga, sweatlodges, women's workshops, breathwork, African dancing, aromatherapy and so on. Sounds so empowering doesn't it? 

We, my family and I, do a bootcamp here at home where we do sets of walking, squats, lunges, push ups, sit ups, step ups, up and down the bleachers and so on. We plan on keeping it up as many days as possible all summer. 

We are also planning a few camping weekends with our little family and that will be a new adventure for us. We usually head to someone's cabin , rather than staying in a campsite, so that will be so much fun for all of us! 

I am helping put a school cookbook together this summer so there'll be lots of typing. 

I am also co-chair to our parent conference that we will be hosting in the fall. 

And my mini-college reunion is also happening this year so there's always a chance for some all nighter Kaiser tournaments. 

Busy summer.....that's for sure! 

While it all sounds jam-packed with activities, I know there'll also be time for some quieter moments too. 

We actually disconnected our Satellite programming for the summer so there will be time for lots of exploring, lots of frog catching and lots of laughs. 

Yes, I am feeling the little heart palpitations of not having the tv available for the times I need to unwind or for the times my children need a moment as well. 

Guess we'll be reading more books and having more cuddle sessions! 

I know there'll also be some softer times so I can meditate and continue on my path as an energy therapist.  

I am looking forward to summer this year for so many obvious reasons and I plan to enjoy it one day at a time. 

Winter was hectic, hopefully summer will go by just a wee bit slower. 

Enjoy your summer and remember to take time to slow down....really enjoy it...rain or shine! 

Be grateful for whatever kind of weather as each moment is a moment for adventure and exploration, rather than one of disappointment and anger. 

Here's to summer bliss......~M
