Summer Program....

So a lot of people LOVE summer. Its a time for family vacations, going swimming, playing outside, get tan. All the FUN stuff.

Well I have to admit Summer doesn't really have the same feeling for me. I don't get to go on family vacations, and the FUN stuff is sometimes harder for me. Or it WAS.

Our company provides a summer program to our kids that provides for them all the things kids love, playing at the park, swimming, going to movies and just having fun. It is so great...for them.

However what I have realized is that even though it is stressful and hard and staff quits on you with NO notice it can still be fun. I love going out to the group I am the coordinator over and seeing the kids have such a good time. I love that! I love that we do have people who want to work with these kids because let me tell you it isn't always easy. But they do it and I am so grateful, I know we couldn't do it without them.

So if I had done this post at the begging of summer I am sure it would have had a much darker tone to it. But just as things do my view point changed. I am not focusing on the hard parts of it, but instead how amazing it is for them.

However next week we do the billing....I might be singing a new tune then. :)

Brenda, I love your thoughts. You sure put everything back into perspective. I REALLY want to see you when I come visit next. I plan on being there around Aug. 10th for about a week. Maybe then we can get back together?! Thanks for your thought today:)
