Writer's Block - Back to School

I cannot tell you how many times I have thought about this blog over the past few months.  I even went as far as sitting down once and typing before my infamous 20 year class reunion in July.  Obviously, that did not get posted.  I'm blaming it on "writer's block" aka, in my world, "SUMMER."  We all have our excuses, some of them better than others.  Often they are unknown to one another unless we reach out and share or ask for some help.

This recent bout of writer's block for me included  full-time summer motherhood (in no particular order: events planner, chauffeur, short-order cook, nanny, grocery-getter, friend, disciplinarian, boss, mentor, teacher, lifeguard, referee and housekeeper); a multitude of fitness endeavors; my individual AdvoCare business, and one suddenly very ill mother-in-law who helped put a number of things into perspective (she is getting better every day).

Basically what I'm trying to say is finding and maintaining personal wellness is a lifelong education in the school of life.  We can continue to go to school and learn everyday but until we are practicing life we can only carry the tools and hope we remember how to use them when we need them.

"Watch your Step" 

As the new school year begins, regardless of whether you have kids, are going back yourself, or just find yourself tested by the increased traffic in school zones remember that seasons change, writer's block will pass and the school bus of life will be bumpy.  Make sure you enjoy the friendship and laughter along the road, remember others are on the bus with you and let the school-life bus carry you past excuses and onto a new day of school.

Enjoy the last days of  your "SUMMER."  I plan to do the same but am looking forward to getting back on the bus! ~Be Well
