From the REC
Welcome to August- The season of Ordinary Living!
Some thoughts about August
Jesus helps me to enter into the joyful dimension of my work. Let me not be so involved and serious about my work that I miss the many pleasures and joys that are inherent in it. Lighten me up when I'm feeling my work’s heaviness. May I remember that I need balance in my life, that laughter and leisure are essential for my health and wellbeing. Take me to sources of zest and enthusiasm without guilt or hesitation!
Action - ask others what makes them laugh :)
Make way for some family time that brings about laughter!
Not sure where I found this, but it is a timely reminder!
