Happy Unofficial Start of the Summer,
This email is PACKED with information. We have so much to tell you about since it is that time of year.
Though we wouldn't know it with the weather we are currently having.
Walking the dog this morning was a very cold and very wet experience.
But as I told myself, "I have been wetter and colder." You can see what I'm talking about in the links below.
This is the unofficial start of summer, and with things starting to open up, it's a whole new world out there. I don't know about you, but I have already needed to delete things from my calendar to return to some calm.
Technically, the pandemic crisis isn't quite over!
So while there is a lot here, please know we aren't saying you have to do it all. Pick something and enjoy it together. Leave it there.
I'm trying to make space to reflect and appreciate before I move on to the next thing.
Five things that make me smile today.
- This podcast: This is a little bit heady, but I still think these guys are hilarious summarizing the books that they read for the episode. It's really the best fun to listen to the books you have already read.
- This instagram post: That time when was colder and wetter than I was this morning. Scroll through the photos until the last one.
- This YouTube: "Do you know who I am?" This one got us laughing so much that we woke the dog up.
- This quote: So true!
- This thing about my kids: This week my kids have been helping me when I volunteer at Storehouse Grocers. I brought the boys with me yesterday, and there was a man outside the store asking for a couple of dollars to be able to eat. I had my lunch and some bananas. So my boys eagerly snatched my lunch and a banana and offered it to the man. Seeing their empathy and
generous spirit made this Mama so happy.
