"So, what are you young fellows out doing today? Enjoying this beautiful weather?" ( I almost missed this by not engaging...)
I was waiting for a carry out pizza. I assumed their appearance signified they were doing the same.
"Yes!" was their answer.
Then, with a big smile, one of them added: "It's spring break!!"
"Wow!" I replied. "Even better!!"
And there it was, that feeling!!
Sleeping in, no commitments, no requirements, no responsibilities, no homework, no arithmetic, no "have toos!!" Complete and total freedom. Dashing from the elementary school door out into the warm, sunny, spring air and 3 months of glorious freedom!!!
Can you relive this feeling?? Do you remember? Are you grasping the experience and exhilaration? How long has it been for you?
What if I had not chosen to greet these young men? Think of missing out on this exquisitely peaceful, joyfilled, and excitedly relaxing moment.
I hope you will think of this "Ramble" the next time a similar opportunity reveals itself to you. Will you seize the moment? It's simple to do.
I wish for you the exuberance of a 3rd grader, bounding into the freedom and joy of summer vacation!!
Yahoooo!!!🌞
