Balance

Labor Day weekend is only a memory now.  The town was swarming with vacationers hoping to get the last of a long weekend of play in before school and "real life" hit the calendar. Company was coming so some tasks had to be done before that. 

The summer was hot, windy and really not conducive for a whole lot of outside work, especially when it got into the 90's. However, toward the end of August things turned around and my freezer now has a few fish in it to treat company! Don't know about you but "balance" comes to mind... to not spend the whole day or week working but finding some time to play, too. 

I find that often what really is work I can call play because I enjoy the task so much but if I think with a mind of a child, what would a child do to play?  Then the mind goes to going out in the rain or jumping in puddles or using big chalk to make hopscotch squares on the sidewalk...or fishing! 

So, even though the official end of summer is here, how can each of us continue to find time to take a holiday, vacation or snippets of time to play and relax?  Think of a teeter-totter...it's about balance...not all work and not all play!

This past week refreshed the spirit having two sisters visit for several days!! My sister and I were able to fish one day; it was productive even though they weren't on the line with every cast! So, hopefully your memories of the last few days of summer make you smile, too!
