LOVE SUMMER! It's been a fun and fabulous couple of days - the weather couldn't have been too much better and Jon and I had time over the weekend to cross off a few of the Summer Bucket List items! We both have pretty full agendas with some impending travel over the next couple months and since planning is my favorite sport, we had spent some time a few weeks ago to map out tentative dates, book events, buy tickets, etc. for the fun things we wanted to do. I've learned that for me at least, it's important to schedule in time not only for the serious and work related things, but also for recreation and relaxation. If I don't, a lot of times it just won't happen. Things get busy and I feel as though I can't or shouldn't take time away, the tickets are no longer available, everything is fully booked on the day we want to go, or we just forget what we had wanted to do and essentially waste valuable leisure time. Plus, when we plan things in advance we derive the benefits of anticipatory savoring. Having something to look forward to
