To Do. To Be.

If you're anything like me you have a *to-do* list that never quite gets done. The fact that it's finally summer makes it feel harder to accomplish anything at all. I just want *to-be*. I'll still be working but I'm actually going to shut-down my computer more often to check in with myself and to connect with those friends I haven't had a chance to lunch with in a long time.

We just got back from a long weekend at a cabin in the mountains. Together with our family we had campfire nights, BBQ, good conversation and lots of laughs. More memories were made when we introduced our grandkids Zoe and Coen to the majestic beauty of world-renowned Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in the Canadian Rockies. 

Next month I'm going to slather on the sunscreen. I'll be poolside wearing a swimsuit stretched over my plump body, sipping something special, reading good books and enjoying some tunes. Scottie and I will be taking our first vacation in 3 years - cruising from Quebec City to New York.

I hope you'll find days of rest and relaxation and some time away with family and friends. Are you taking a break for yourself? It doesn't have to be fancy to have some fun again.

When is the last time you felt less stress from the demands of everyday life? What will you give yourself time to do this summer?
