No Ice Cream Until....(Monday Moment ep. 489)

As schools prepare to open, it's a great time to reflect on some highlights from summer before it fades.

For me, the list includes morning walks with Beth, a slower pace at work, evening swims with Grace, playing cards with my boys and family vacations to Michigan and Florida. One highlight, however, started as a bad experience, became even worse and through a new friend's generosity was transformed into a highlight.
