We are deep into the summer season, and boy does it feel good! It usually includes plans to travel or have staycations (which are great!), gatherings the family and friends, There is a feel to summer that is unique to the season itself.

Summer has its own looks, sounds and aromas, with each of these senses embedded in our memories. There are a few things we’ve noticed for the first time this summer, and it’s is exciting that new things can be discovered!

Summer’s warmth is a backdrop to new discoveries. The windows can be opened in the evening, capturing a breeze to rustle the curtains. In the pre-dawn hours, the breeze carries sounds of the new day, beginning with the chirping of birds as early as 3:00am. It really is a wonder! What are the birds sensing or anticipating at that hour that gets them stirring? Are the birds sensing the approaching sunrise? Is it a call to the others to start the day?

Summer means more time outdoors and getting our bodies moving. There is more daylight, one of the reasons it’s easy to commit to going for daily walks, in either the morning or the evening - - or both! And, being able to shed layers at this time of year, there is a greater sense of freedom, lightness and energy in our step!

Our mood can also feel the change into summer. The sunlight, the breeze and the warmth all lend themselves to relieving stress, helping us to think through problems or challenges with a more balanced outlook, and improving our well-being at the same time. Get out and enjoy Summer 2024!

How can we maintain healthy boundaries with our friends in the workplace?

Join us as we chat with Tina Baxter about how we have friends we work with, and also make friends with people at our work. There are things to consider in terms of these relationships, i.e., boundaries, for things like social media (what can or should you be sharing, or not sharing, about work).

Once upon a time, a group of friends set their alarms to get up in the pre-dawn hours (and while on vacation, no less!) of a summer morning. After a quick drive to an East-facing spot with a view of the horizon, they stood, shoulder to shoulder, as the sky began to glow.

In a matter of moments, the morning silence was broken by the involuntary gasps of the friends, awestruck as the edge of the sun broke the horizon and began its climb up the sky.

Summer is here! Wake up some friends and look to the eastern horizon!☀️

It's worth the early start! Even better if your bestie is an early riser so they can make sure you don’t miss it!
