IT'S EASTER AND THAT MEANS:
I love this special time of the year - it's like a little open window with a breath of fresh air blowing in. Easter gives me space to appreciate my blessings and I thought I'd do a quick post today to share three that came to mind over the last few days....
FAITH
I know Easter has become predominantly about chocolate eggs and hot cross buns - and I'm a big fan of both - but it's also a time to remember the real reason behind the holiday. It's a time for us to go to church to honour the death and resurrection of Jesus - to take a moment amongst the festivities to pause and to give thanks.
FAMILY
Easter always means extra time with our adult kids, their spouses, and our two grandgirls. I am in my own small heaven having them all staying with us for a few days. I love that we get to have so much unhurried, relaxed time together. We get to chat, to eat those chocolate eggs, and to just touch base and re-connect with each other. There will be outings, time together, time separately, and time to just "be". My heart will be very happy indeed.
FREEDOM
What I enjoy the most about my life now I'm retired is that I'm no longer locked into a work timetable. My holidays aren't scheduled, my days are my own. I don't have to grasp onto every hour of the Easter break, or juggle around being free for when the family comes to visit. I have freedom to go with the flow - to be available all day, every day of their visit. I'm not rushed or stressed, I'm quietly at peace.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
What's your favourite thing about Easter? What brings a smile to your face as the Easter break arrives? What makes it a special time of the year for you? If it's not special then that's okay too, and I'm sending you a hug and a virtual chocolate egg from my heart to yours.
