Right Wisdom

I am going to deviate slightly from my normal Saturday post. I usually post a leisure activity that leaders can do on those weekends to break away from the busy activities of a leader. Last week in fact I talked about the opening weekend of the Minnesota State Fair. The fair ends on Labor Day and that is the day my family is planning on attending. What I will do is post my leisure post on Monday and give you some highlights of our trip to the fair. Today I just want to give a shout out to Labor Day and the end of summer. Technically it is not the end of summer but School is back and the days are getting shorter. Go out and spend this weekend just doing things you enjoy. Spend it with friends, family and yourself. Do those last things on your summer to do list. What haven’t you done this summer that you wanted to do? Do it this weekend and enjoy these final days of summer.

Yesterday I blogged about my son's t-ball game getting rained out, it was rescheduled for today and we got it completed. Fun time watching those t-ball kids hit the ball and run station to station around the bases. The rain got me thinking more about what people do on those rainy spring days. Are you one of those rainy day people who can find 100s of things to do on a rainy day or do those rainy days get you down and you just want to lie in bed and do nothing? As a leader maybe you like to have one of those rainy days so you can accomplish some of those things you have been putting off. You might like an opportunity to lie around and do nothing once in a while. Yesterday I gave you a list of places or things you can do to volunteer. Today I want to give you some ideas on what you can do on those rainy days. Clean your house.  Finish that book.  Do some long awaited remodeling.  Work on some crafts.  Cook and share some of your favorite comfort food....
