Oh Spring Break, I always have such high hopes for you!
I am definitely thankful for you. I anxiously anticipate your arrival and truly appreciate your existence. And I know I’m not the only only one!
Yet I can’t help but find myself disappointed this year.
Wet, rainy snow certainly was not in our plans. Wet, rainy snow is a bit of a predicament in trying to keep energetic little ones busy and happy. Wet, rainy snow makes spring break outdoor, fresh air plans quite tricky.
Yes, we are disappointed. But what to do with that disappointment? Let it get the best of our day? Take over the break that we have been so looking forward to? This is definitely an option.
But I try to look at the bigger picture. I try to appreciate the time for what it is. Free time with my kids. A break from our normal routine. I appreciate that we are together. Regardless of where we are, what we’re doing, or how wet and snowy it is, we are together. And that, I appreciate.
