The last few years, with Long Covid limiting my leaving the apartment and a teen who was navigating middle school, I’ve been ‘scheduling joy’ on our calendar for the whole year. I never used to plan activities so far ahead! Like scheduling spontaneity it sounds an odd phrase, but having something soul recharging to look forward to at regular intervals has made a difference for both of us. I’m adding these ideas you shared here to my list of things to do!

This is so lovely of you to share. I'm so happy it resonated and hope your summer is filled with scheduled joy!
