Snow Day!
Another snow day is upon us! I have to admit I'm like a little kid when the fluffy white stuff falls from the sky. Growing up on Long Island, we so rarely had a snow day, I still get excited by the thought of it. With a snow day already announced on a Sunday evening, I get to sit up and wait for the storm to start. I'm very fortunate that I get to be home with the kids tomorrow and look out the window with them first thing like it's Christmas morning. We have no plans to go anywhere and no plans to do anything. I got work done today so I can just let the day plan itself; a little snow time, a little hot chocolate time, a little play time and quite possibly a little cuddle-up-on-the-couch time.
But in truth, I'm not always good with "doing nothing." I'm a bit of a workaholic and there's always something to get accomplished. These sort of magical days are just what I need to "just be." Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to enjoy a free day. We have these so rarely, why not just give in and have a play day with the kids? When was the last time you had nothing planned and just enjoyed a day off? Let's take this opportunity to add more fun and laughter into our lives and we will be healthier for it!
