Welcome Back
Happy September. It’s hard to believe it is September already. Kids are back in school, crisp cool air is swooping in ever so slowly and the chime of a laughter and luggage notification back in your inbox. Here’s a little welcome back to brighten your day (at least I hope).
How was your summer? If your weather was anything like mine, it was a hot one. Not that I’m complaining—summer is meant to be warm! It’s our chance to sip cool drinks and plunge into a refreshing lake (although my family will tell you it takes a lot to convince me to actually ‘dip’ in. My husband even put a thermometer on the dock so I can see it was warm enough—lol). But yes, I did go in… more than once!
My summer was filled with fun moments, relaxing moments, and many laughter moments. A much-needed time to refresh my soul. Do you find you ever need that? I find, time with my family and friends can create a necessary lift in my spirit – a boost to the happy meter. I found myself, on numerous occasions laughing very hard and creating such wonderful memories.
Some key moments that stood out:
- Graduation of my daughter
- Graduation of my son
- Our annual Father’s Day Fishing derby
- Family Wii competitions
- Family vacation adventures
- Canada Day fun
- Trying a new sport fun
- Gardening (seeing how much my daughter loves it)
Your happiness matters—and finding joy is essential to filling that happy bucket. For me, summer is often full of those little moments that carry me forward long after the season ends.
Now that Laughter and Luggage has returned to your inbox, you can look forward to uplifting reads, inspiring stories, new destinations to explore, and even a few self-improvement tips (because let’s be honest, we can all use a little boost now and then).
So, here’s to a new season—happy fall! I’m delighted to be back in your Wednesday morning inbox.
