When the kids were young, we would take a day at the end of the summer to order pizza and talk about the summer. Our favourite parts, our least favourite parts and our overall thoughts on the summer. This served both as a reminder of all of the things we had done, but also served as a transition point to remind us that summer is now over and it is time to get back to school/work.
I am feeling that vibe now as I start back at the office after a long hiatus. This summer was one of healing and reset for me, and I am now back to being productive. Although I might not always enjoy the work that I do, it keeps me productive and an active part of society. The weather is cooler, the days are getting shorter and I am feeling healthier and happier. I am hoping to take extended summer vacation as much as I can over the next few years as it is a healthy necessity for me. I feel recharged.
