You know what is awesome? Fire. And hard ice cream, especially when gotten from a cute highway stop. I hope everyone is really enjoying their last week of summer and is enjoying the best summer has to offer you. I have written about some of the fun things we have done here, and here, and here!
Recently I have been feeling burdened by the frustrating minutiae of life and it has really pulled me down. This has led me to question spending time on spiritual and emotional health, because it takes so much time and can be so easily defeated. I need time to figure out and deal with much more mundane and practicum problems, such as my awful haircut or lack thereof.
But this weekend I realized something. The point of working on spiritual and emotional health is not because it has immediate and measurable outcomes; it's because when you feel joy and inner peace and strength your {insert mundane problem here} doesn't matter as much. You still have all the same issues but you are a less fragile person and you are not finding your self-worth within your ability to deal with these issues.
Prince Charming is totally jealous of my non-motion sickness because I am typing this while driving home from our 4th provincial campground, Carson-Pegasus Provincial, and our first one in Alberta! We had a great weekend with Belle, Cogsworth, Mulan and Attila. It was truly awesome.
I hope you will take time this week to do something awesome. Maybe use the excuse of working on your spiritual and emotional health to take the time for it.
What awesomeness have you experienced this summer?
Nothing is better for my emotional health and strength than simply talking to family and friends. Enjoy all that you have.
