Happy 4th of July! Thanks to all of those serving abroad and their families and to those who have served in the past. We enjoy so many blessings because of your sacrifice.

The past week has been a celebration of birthdays, fun at the beach and barbecues. There is one good thing about these economic times. It seems to bring everyone around to being more content with less.
We enjoyed simple, last minute no hassle gatherings with family and friends and braved the traffic headed to the beach. At first we thought we were crazy to travel on a holiday weekend but we enjoyed just being together making memories and singing to the songs on the radio while waiting out the traffic.
Elaborate budgets aren't needed to just be together. I am a firm believer in quality versus quantity. Truly being present to one another is priceless. It's a challenge with so many distractions but if you peel the onion back, if you cover the basics only, you will have accomplished all you need to.
This week take time to reflect on your calendar and consider what are the musts and consider scaling back. When you take some time to nurture your spirit, you will actually accomplish more with less and more easily. Most importantly, there will be more room in your schedule for some plain old fun!
Enjoy!
Warmly,
Andrea
