Summer is officially here. Kids are out of school. It’s staying lighter later and we are busier than ever. If we don’t stop to prioritize our time, we can easily become overwhelmed. We all have so much on our plates. Let’s think back to when we were in school. Summer was synonymous with vacation. How things change as we get older. Summer becomes synonymous with the busy season. It’s hard to believe that this year is half over. Time is flying by. The same goes for life. It seems like the busy season has lasted a decade. Have we done a lot of the things we wanted to do in this past decade? As we set our schedules for the summer, remember that there is so much more to life than work. Make summer synonymous with vacation once again. Let’s plan a vacation right now. Put it on paper, book the flights and the hotel rooms. There is an entire world out there. There is no time like the present. Once we have booked our vacation, then we can plan our work around it. There is never a good time to take off work. We just need to make the time. It can be weekend trips or it can be the vacation we have always wanted. What matters is that we take the time to make the time. We will end up with memories that last a lifetime. Let’s have an amazing summer. Let’s work hard and let’s not forget to mix in some fun. Have a phenomenal week.

Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.
