Personal Sustainable Practices-Family Time and Turtles

After taking the Life satisfaction survey, you can follow the link to take it yourself, www.thehappinesscenter.com/survey/survey.php , I have discovered that a few of my answers are ways that I feel only sometimes. Upon further examination of these questions and answers, it seems that the majority of them are directly related to my personal life and the joy, or lack of, that I have. The reason being is that most of my time is occupied by work, studying and developing my own business. So, it makes sense that when it comes to taking time for myself, laughing, playing and taking time to enjoy the simple pleasures life has to offer, I am usually too busy to even notice. As a matter of fact, I am supposed to be enjoying a day at the beach with my family, yet I am sitting here updating my blog, which BTW, is an assignment for one of my university classes. So I am going to get straight to the point, because my daughter is calling me to play with her in the cool blue water and enticing surf.

I have decided that as a result of taking the above survey, I am going to make time for me, for the things that make me happy and start a bi-monthly tradition of going to the beach with my family. There are a few things that we are going to do there. First, I want to take walks in the morning and clean up the beach and then, we as a family are going to meet with a local organization that protects sea turtles and ensure their safe release. My daughter, husband and I have always wanted to do this, so I am going to take the initiative to organize these trips that will not only be an enjoyable family get away, but we will be helping save a vanishing species.
