Summertime is here! Yahoo! It was a little late this year though the last few days are surely making up for it. Like many of you, I love summer. However, I have noticed over the past few years is that summertime has become a balance of overwhelm and enjoyment. There are so many wonderful things to do, people to see, experiences to be had. With the longer days it seems easy (until it’s not) to fit it all in. For me, the first two weeks that school was out seemed like a race of guilt (working and not being home to play), logistics (what’s happening when and who is going where) and overwhelm (all of it). I am glad to say that, with some help from Tapping In Joy, we are on the other side of the transition and things are a little bit easier.

I am learning that what I really want from summer is time to enjoy my family and friends and to be present and in the now (spelled backwards is won!) with what is happening. If this means not partaking in all the wonderful things that summer has to offer, that is ok because I am partaking in the wonderfulness of the people I love.

Be Here Now!
