“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.”  ~ George Elliot

Vacations have always been a big deal to me. Wherever we go, we establish rituals that everyone looks forward to. It might be daily trips to that special coffee shop every morning, letting the kids explore for money in the pool (making sure there is some to be found), or an ongoing game of Monopoly. One vacation that still holds special significance for me was a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. My parents had flown in to meet us. Dad was ill and we knew his time was growing short. We discovered a unique establishment that sold homemade pie and ice cream called “The Purple Pie Place”. A daily evening visit became a much anticipated event for all of us. Even today, years later, I’m so glad we took the time to establish that ritual. Learn to take the time for rituals. It’s not too late to start the habit. Put some thought and effort into it. You’ll find yourself ‘getting a life’.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”  ~ Mahatma Gandhi
