What if…

And now for a share (or re-share) that many of you may have already seen, yet I keep going back to it as it has continued to be helpful to me as we navigate 2020. With this week’s sweep, I wanted to include as to amplify the message.

Our kids cleaned out their lockers and virtual lockers yesterday as they wrapped up 5th & 7th grade. Next week we are jumping in a camper van to get lost in being off-grid and off-line.  These what if scenarios will fuel my wondering mind. Looking forward to time dedicated to thought, listening and connecting with my family as we transition to summer. *if you are curious, yes – our son is officially the tallest one in the family.
