Day 15: A Rest Wrap-Up

So, this whole blog series on rest started because I wasn’t quite sure what to do with summer. If vacations, pools, and camps are all canceled, is there summer? And how would this “summer” be any different from the last couple of months that we’ve all been at home? Sure, there’s no school, but summer is more than the absence of school.

Summer, like any other season, brings a rest from and a rest to, and I guess I was hoping that somewhere in all of this, I would flesh out those blanks. I think we nailed the first – what we really need a rest from and why? But to be honest, after 15 posts and 8000 words, I’m no closer to figuring that to – beyond my daily and weekly rest practices – of what Summer 2020 will be for my family and me.

So much for tidy endings! But I’m going to leave it here and explore the to, starting today by meeting up with a friend and her boys at a creek.

Before I go – thank you! Thank you to those of you who:

It’s been fun, and I’m now I’m going to take a little rest from this space for the next week. I’ll be back after that to talk life, writing, faith, and whatever else you want.

What about Lu2?

Yes, and I will talk about Lu2! Don’t worry. She’s coming.
