Hello and happy Sunday…from the middle of a Sydney winter.
Right now, families in Australia are poised to head into a well-deserved term break from school. That’s three weeks without packing lunches or driving to sport, and plenty of time to enjoy the simple things in life.
And overseas, school is nearly out and summer beckons…
So when I read these three questions by Brene Brown, author, professor and researcher, I really wanted to share. Brene asked her family three questions to create the kind of vacation that truly inspired a “rest” for them.
Simple, but genius.
We rarely take the time to think about this. We do a lot of things that are supposed to be relaxing or fun, but sometimes this just means it’s fun for other people. And if we’re honest, it’s not what we love. Two examples: reading and travel. Supposed to be fun for everyone, but really they’re not.
What is fun for me? What is a “rest” for me?
It’s worth rediscovering.
Enjoy your weekend, and I hope you have some (real) fun today…
Love Catherine x
PS.
Fun for me is cooking! I hope you tried last week’s Rosemary Lemon Cake or my apple pie!
Book news: I’m excited to start chatting with teen girls at high schools about all the themes in my novel, Love Lie Repeat. So thankful for my two books this year.
