Four "Must Do's" For The Summer Of 2023

I shared these four "Must Do's" with my staff on the last day of school.  Consider these for the summer of 2023.

1)  Have Fun!

• Spend time with the people that bring you joy.
• Enjoy special times with family and friends.
• Go places you enjoy!
• Find a variety of activities you enjoy and do them!  Don't wait!

2) Try something NEW!

• Go someplace you have never gone.
• Learn a new skill.
• Take a cooking class or an art class.
• Do something you have never, ever, tried before.  
• Don't be afraid to be bad at something!  It's ok!  The learning experience is worth it!

3) Reflect!

• Be aware of how good we have it.  On a bad day, we have it better than BILLIONS of people worldwide.  Have perspective.  
• Think about what went well this year.  Prepare to do more of it next year!
• Think about what didn't go well.  What did you learn from it?  Do it better next year!

4) Be Healthy!

• Take care of your mind, body, and spirit.
• Eat well.  
• Exercise.  Stretch.
• Meditate, attend church, or find other ways to attend to your spiritual needs.
• Have gratitude.
• Remember, without our health, the rest really does not matter. 

Be well and enjoy your summer!
