I wasn’t planning to do this, but today I decided to take a summer break too. The boys had their last day of school last week and it has been go, go, go ever since.
Things we didn’t plan on, things we didn’t plan for, things happen. Things happen fast.
I’ve decided not to look for things to do, but to look for things to remember. So, I’m taking my hands off the keyboard for a bit and I’ll let the stories happen around me. the stories are out there. Who knows what we’ll find if we’re all looking together.
No blogging (though I will still be writing as I need to), no facebook lurking (though I’m sure I’ll have some of their material to share now and then), none of those things for a while. Just here at home, present with them for the summer. Or at least for the time they are home.
There will be karate days, time at the pool, VBS, Kids camp and other things that occupy them, but I am convinced that taking a summer break isn’t just something they will do this year, it’s something I am going to do too.
Just for a while. Thank you to those who read here and I promise to come back soon.

Being somewhat on the other side of my own Sabbatical, I know how refreshing it can be to lay aside all of those things and to focus on what’s right in front of us. I wish you a restful summer.
