We have to forget our normal routines on a holiday…

• shut down early
• linger over coffee
• forget that you work from home and can work all the time
• even if you do decide to work, remember that others want a holiday, too
• splurge a bit on dinner
• eat dessert (unless you always do, in which case, well, make it an extra special dessert)
• see your family
• open that already chilled bottle of Prosecco, saved for a special occasion (it’s here – today)
• let them know you miss them, too and give them an extra long hug
• dance in the rain
• drive further…and bring them home

We fall easily into our normal routines – especially when you think that summer is still here. It isn’t actually, as it is fairly frigid – I exaggerate, but damp low 50s is pretty harsh when you think you can still wear shorts and a t-shirt and go to the pool to hang out. On a long Labor Day weekend, there are still a lot of minutes left to enjoy – so why are you waiting?
