Taking A Minute To Breathe...

 

Hi!


How's everybody doing?


I don't know about you, but I could use a break. From all of it.

So, that's what I'm going to do. I going to take a news holiday, bundle up some grandbabies, my hubby, and have a COVID-friendly summer adventure. 

We are very fortunate to live where we do. We live a heartbeat from a massive lake that allows lots of people to have all kinds of fun without getting remotely close to each other, so we are going to take full advantage.

It will be a weekend filled with a lot of sunshine, swimming, treasure hunting along the beach, ferry rides, and picnics. There will be gratuitous amounts of ice cream and other treats, knock-knock jokes, and Disney sing-a-longs.

It's a weekend to take a breath, maybe several of them, and make some space to create a few magical memories during this stressful time. 

This weekend will be spent with the littles, next weekend, with the grandbaby that is no longer so little. 

Different types of adventures, equally precious memories made. 

The world's troubles and life's stresses will still be here when we plant our feet on solid ground once again. But, for the next couple of days, I will only adult when absolutely necessary, the rest of the time you will find me within arms reach of tiny hands, searching for magical shells along the shallow waves of mystical waters, and proof of the unicorns which are fabled to frolic in the nearby hills. 

I hate to write and run, but I have a few things to get ready before the littles get here. 


Everybody needs to take a minute to breathe now and again. It's okay. You're allowed.



************************************************************


May the waters lap at your sunkissed feet, bringing with them the treasures you crave.
May every breeze breathe life into your heavy heart, may joy be brought in every wave.

May the sun dance across your face, may your smiles once again, find their way to your eyes.
May the moonlight find you bathed in serenity, in calm, stress melting away under the star-filled skies.

May you embrace the grace of here and now, for it's all that is ever truly ours.
May you allow yourself to find the magic, letting your minutes turn into gloriously wasted hours.
