I am enjoying spring break with my girls this week! Don’t worry, I wrote this blog last week and set it to post today. Isn’t technology at least a little bit wonderful?
I am somewhere enjoying something. I am not trying to hide my whereabouts, it is just that at the writing of this we have still not decided where we are going. I wish I could blame it on our spontaneous nature, but I think the blame lies with me.
A few years ago I would have been working this week. My girls would have been home with my wife, Laura. I am sure they would have enjoyed sleepy mornings and lunches with Mom. And I would have woken up every morning and gone about my business. This was our “way.”
No, it wasn’t that I had used all my vacation time or was in the middle of some big project. It was my inability to let go. To relax. To be quiet. Or at least to be loud in different ways.
I am learning. As I seek to embrace life more, I am sure that I am spending this week laughing and learning. My girls are so incredibly precious to me. The time I spend with them is a benefit to everyone I know because I am a better person because of them.
I will see you soon. When I do, I am sure I will be smiling wider and a lot more relaxed.
Are you taking moments to embrace life? To spend time with those you love?
No Spring Break? Make one.
