SUMMER!

This past winter... I was just waiting for spring and summer to get here, get outside, run, bike, swim, paddle, and get in the events on the weekends... and then it gets here/is here and it just seems to be flying!  It doesn't matter how early I wake up, my day is packed and then night falls and someone decides to grill out or bonfire it and you forget what day it is.... or what may be coming up in the near future.
Granted I am possibly in a bit of a different situation then most of you.... my theory of while I have the time I have to try it all!! You know, grab Kate and get a vegetable garden going in more than one location, manage a drive-in without running out of meat or buns, move E, I, and Oz in with my brother for the summer, and my favorite is the Morning Yoga and Tabata!!  Very excessive but the move was necessary and definitely leading to an awesome week since we close on Monday!! SO~  How do you fit it in?!

You have to prioritize, I believe is the mantra that has began this past week!  With so much happening in everyone's lives you really want to find what you truly are happy doing and make that come first...  Learning to say no can also be good.  That is hard.  But I have noticed that when you say no or maybe just nothing at all, you are able to have really great days that are still full but there is still time to get in the little things that get pushed to the side!! 

ToughMudder is coming up this next month and a group has decided to make the time for that adventure... It is a great thing to be able to set that day aside for an awesome event but we need to always remember to make some time for ourselves everyday, doing what we enjoy...   Every Monday I get excited to thank those that showed up to take the time for themselves and their bodies; with summer school, day camps, vacations, weddings, the list can continue which eventually leads to a tornado of a summer and a lack of rest, relaxation, and finding the time for some much needed recoup for the body and soul~  SO before we decide to all get lost in SUMMER.... remeber to find that time in the morning or afternoon to get out and get active, whether with a great support group or making that time just be for you!
