Labor Day is for Resting and Nesting
I was talking with a client last week and she mentioned the weekend might be hard.
Why?
Because it’s Labor Day, a three day holiday weekend, and the end of summer.
It hit me that I hadn’t even thought about that.
I did have a trip out of town for my Aunt’s Funeral services at the end of the week, prior to the weekend’s start.
I was performing the eulogy, so I was heavily distracted, to say the least.
My oldest daughter had a volleyball tournament,
so we had no plans for a for a last hurrah.
It actually felt like a regular weekend, with an extra day added in.
Less plan, and few obligations.
No forced family fun, which admittedly I shove in sometimes.
(don’t we all?)
More time and space.
It was just what I needed, considering the emotional weekend I had endured.
I started the summer in an opposite way…with a BANG! on Memorial Day.
We enjoyed a weekend at a lake house, speeding around in a flashy boat.
It was a big summer kickoff with smores, music, and a crowd of people to party with.
