No matter how old I get, Spring Break will always add a little spring to my step. I loved it as a kid, as a college student, as a teacher and now, as a parent. It's that much needed holiday after the snow and cold. It gives you a chance to recharge your batteries.
Spring Break needs to be more than just a week off of school. It needs to be a mindset. Sometimes we just need a break. A vacation. A time off or away.
The snows come. The rains. the clouds. The fog. The freezing temperatures. Life. Stuff happens. And sometimes it just seems to go on and on. And we need a break. Time to sleep in. To lounge around. To be still. To read. To regroup. We need someplace warm. Even if it's just under our covers. Time out of the freezing cold. Time out of the wind. Time. Period.
I love Spring Break and all it heralds. Easter. Thawing. Planting. A change. I love that my kids are home. And I tremble at the thought that very soon, I will be in sandals and not boots.
Life is like that. Just a little bit of time gives us hope for what good is coming. Even if it's a ways off. Give yourself time to hope. Give yourself a break.
blessings,
rhonda
