What Does It Mean: Summer Vacation?

June 15, 2010 By: Roberta Category: Parenting, relationships, Stress Management, Stress Solutions, support group, Uncategorized

Anyone over 40 knows what a vacation is…remember when we were a kid and we went to the ocean, or Disney Land, or camping, or the mountains….remember?  Now, those were vacations !  What is a vacation now?  It is probably two hurried  and last minute put-together days with very little comfort and/or time to de-stress from the job or career and home pressures.

When the kids are out of school and on THEIR vacation…it is no vacation for us! A better summer plan is needed for the sake of everyone !

How do we do it when:  (1)  there isn’t much money for a vacation (2) there is very little time as everyone’s schedule is different (3) no one can agree on anything.

JUST DO IT !  and join a supportive group who will encourage and support you in making your summer a good one.*
