Today is my first day of Spring Break. I can hardly explain how badly I’ve needed it. School has been going well, but it has been an insanely busy season, and I’m thankful to have some respite. Yesterday I was triumphant as I left school, having gotten all my grades in and my lesson plans for after Spring Break completed. Now I’ll be able to truly enjoy this time off. Today I’m doing laundry and packing for Florida (yes!) and letting my mind wander and recover.
The weather is finally beginning to get a little warmer–although it’s presently raining–and I’m enjoying the inspiration and new thoughts that come with the spring season. I’ve been reveling in the joy of apartmenttherapy.com (thanks to Sarah Jo). I’ve purchased some lovely new stationery. I’m enjoying the thought of yellow dresses and red kitchens, and bicycles. I wrote a poem which I read at one of our church services last Sunday.
It feels good to be inspired again, to write, to create, to enjoy life. Mason and I are headed to sunny Florida tomorrow to see Sarah and Ryan, and it’s going to be so refreshing.
God above all the world in motion
God above all my hopes and fears
I don’t care what the world throws at me now
It’s gonna be all right
‘Cause I know my God saved the day
And I know His word never fails
And I know my God made a way for me
Salvation is here
Hurray for apartment therapy!
Where IS that yellow dress from???!!!
