Let’s Keep Summer Goin’
Every kid looks forward to the Summer… because school is out, you have lots of free time and flexibility and get to have fun!
Then you turn into an adult and… you don’t get a “Summer Break”.
What is a Summer Break?!?
Adults still have to work a job and fulfill all the normal responsibilities. Summer isn’t usually a break, but often harder because the kids are home with unstructured time to fill!
The struggle is real. Am I right? :)
So here is the goal that I’m working on and yet to perfect, but pursuing.
I want the “Summer” to last forever.
What if…
Every season provided the promise and enthusiasm of a kid in Summer?
What if…
Your time was free and your plans were flexible?
What if…
You always made plans and family memories intentionally, just like in the Summer.
That’s my goal.
This Summer, our family has had a lot of fun! We’ve been able to travel and see all our extended family and go to beautiful places. (see the photos attached)
My goal is that this is the norm, not the exception.
Even in the Fall, Winter and Spring, I want to keep embracing the enthusiasm and promise of “Summer”.
As I get older, as I’m married longer, as my kids grow up - my goal is to spend every season investing in those relationships and making intentional experiences to create lasting memories.
Thankfully, this is a “season” of my life where we can accomplish this goal. As a self-employed, Independent Insurance Broker specializing in health and medicare, I can work anywhere with an internet connection.
I have the flexibility to be with family and make my own schedule. This wasn’t always the case, but we are embracing it now!
For the Johnsen family… the “Summer” can last forever!
