No matter who you are, where you go or what you do, there are things you have to take care of every day. I guess that's why it is so easy to get caught up in the stuff of life and not accomplish the "big" things.
The question is, "What are the big things?". That's what I've been asking myself. The answer I have come up with is this: The big things are not necessarily big events, accomplishments, recognitions, trips, etc. The big things are those things that bring joy to life and make wonderful memories with those you love. The big things are those things that make a difference in people's lives - a simple act of kindness, sharing a meal with someone, doing a craft with a child, sharing your gifts - whatever they are - with the world. Big things are those things you look back on and say, "Wow! I'm glad I did that."
I am planning a summer of big things. I don't know what they will be...yet, but I am thinking about it. We have a busy summer ahead. I have one child going to Spain for a few weeks, one going to Pennsylvania and one to music camp. We have a guest from Spain coming to visit, as well as one coming to visit from Pennsylvania. We are trying to plan a trip to the beach, as well as a couple of trips to visit our training teams.
I plan to enjoy every minute of these visits and trips that I can. I know the summer flies by quickly and I want to pack every minute of it with as much as I can. We'll see what happens!
What "big" things are you planning?
