A Bad Case of the Februarys.
Cabin Fever.
Getting Stir Crazy.
About to Explode.
Case of the Gloomies.
These are the terms that I have heard in the past week explaining how much students and teachers are needing a break- Spring Break.
The interesting thing that I have noticed is that when the sun is shining and people do not have to wear their BIG COATS, there is a ray of Sunshine...literally and figuratively.
Students and staff have a bounce in their step, a smile and their face, and a sense of relaxation that is proof that those earlier mentioned ailments are leaving soon. It is wonderful! Spring Break is great, but I find the weeks leading to the break kind of ease us all into the enjoyment of the time off a little bit more. We can appreciate the break because we have shaken off a little bit of the winter before hand. I would hate to think that my Spring Break is just spent recovering from a long and stress-ridden winter. I want to be ready for the time, fresh air, and relaxation.
Just like anything we have to look forward to...it is my philosophy that when we spend a little time with anticipation and appreciation, we can turn the time we have into well-spent moments.
In the weeks to come before your break...enjoy the baby-steps towards the destination.
Be Mindful.
Peace.

Oh, I remember these days in school. So tough to get yourself motivated when you are waiting for spring and a break from the normal. I've been getting outside with Chloe more and can feel the warmth in the sun. Better weather is coming!
