This is so true! My family (wife and our 13 and 10 yo girls) do this every year too :) We make a list of what our goals are for this year and what values we must not stray away from. We also reaffirm our allegiance to the "Orange pact" (years ago when we were in Orange, NSW we decided as a family that we would never finish a holiday without planning the next regardless of of how far or big the next one was. Even if it was a weekend away at the coast in six months). Enjoyed reading this EMcG. Thank You
Thanks for reaching out Venkatesh! I love your "Orange pact". Not only because Orange is my hometown (yes, really!) or because I totally agree you need to have another trip - big or small - to look forward to, but because it so clearly demonstrates your family's commitment to putting your values into action. 🙌
