Like all good things do, this summer is nearing its end. (Boo. Hiss.)
The last days of summer present a unique opportunity to reflect on happy memories, make the most of the time that remains, and gear up for a change in routine.
With Labor Day looming, for most families, the new school year is fast approaching. You can end the summer on a high note with some positive reflection, a healthy dose of togetherness, and a confident look at what’s to come. Here are some ways you can get the most out of the end of summer with your family.
Gratitude Walk
Step out into the world together—in your neighborhood, at the park, at the beach, wherever you like—and enjoy a good, old-fashioned walk.
Share with each other what you are grateful for. What were your favorite parts of this summer? Notice the wonderful environment around you. Make a list of your responses as you walk. You'll be amazed by the length and variety of your list.
