Mental Wellness Archives

Here are the signs I missed when she was growing up – these things she did all stood out at the interview.

Those very memories are often referred back to during our evening chats as we reminisce about the mini adventures our kids had while they were young. These memories, I wouldn’t swap them for anything. They are the jewels that shine brightly well after the small inconveniences of a holiday are forgotten. 

These times with our rangatahi are precious. They will be gone before we know it. So seize the opportunity holidays give us and, enjoy. 

The next time you want to invoke a visit from holiday self, simply be still, breathe deeply and touch your little finger and thumb together.

Holidays expand us with a change of environment, a change of routines, and an opportunity for experiences that will broaden our minds simply because they are out of the ordinary.

It is still summer after all. And we can choose to enjoy our summer. Together. Making memories for years to come.
