We are back from vacation! I'd love to say it was restful 🤣 but with four very active and adventurous kiddos.....well it was filled with snorkeling, UTV's, swinging off boats, fishing and more. But it was wonderful to spend that time together. I've taken a little rest from social media and initially, I wasn't sure why. I've been super busy, much like many people. But sometimes you just have to let some stuff go. Know what I mean?
It got me thinking about a few years ago......I was in a panic that I hadn't put together our holiday cards. I didn't have a picture (at least a recent one) of all of us, the days seemed to be flying by and I just couldn't quite manage finding success in each day. I couldn't "do all the things". So I just had this moment where I thought...."I'm just not gonna do the damn cards this year." And I cannot tell you how freeing it was. It was just something small off the plate physically, but it was a huge relief mentally.
That was how social media felt a little bit. I just needed something off my plate. I'm going to slowly get back into it, but I also want to embrace the act of slowing down a bit. Work, kids, sports, volunteering.....now throw in holidays, hosting....it can be a lot. So I see you out there and hope that you, too, will take this month to slow down. It may be tough to relinquish a bit of that pace, but I'm over here practicing it too.
