18 Summers (#84)
A year feels like a long time while a summer comes and goes and 18 summers is all you get with your kids, so you need to make all of them count.
Shortly, I will be headed out on an RV trip with my family which has been years in the making. I am excited to unplug, get outdoors, and spend quality time with my kids.
Last week, I had two reminders of how special and fleeting this time really is. It started with getting this “out of office” reply from the PR consultant of my friend Alex Yastrebenetsky:
“Alex Yastrebenetsky encouraged me to make a sign that says "18 Summers" and put it on my refrigerator so you can see it every day. A year feels like a long time while a summer comes and goes and 18 summers is all you get with your kids, so you need to make all of them count. As you are reading this, I am spending time with my family in an RV headed across the country and will be back on Monday, August 21st.”
