I recently read an e-newsletter that highlighted the educational activities that can be accomplished during a vacation, but I was most impressed by a father’s article that encouraged mothers to simply enjoy the time off and let their children do the same.
I am probably the number one advocate of multi-tasking, but I think it is important to have a time where the tasks are not dictated or even evaluated. In the Bible, this would be called a Sabbath. I have to purposely make myself take a break from the lists and the goals, and I have found that when I do so, I actually get a better perspective and greater passion to do the truly important things.
I want to encourage you to stop and hang out this summer. Find time to just be with friends or just be with your children or just be with your spouse or just be with yourself! I promise that you will be re-energized and ready to face the school year ahead.
