I'm a lucky girl, and get a spring break at my work. Unfortunately, it's never the same as my sons school, so it's more like a productive staycation.
The Sunday my spring break started was daylight savings. I'm probably the only person who rejoices this day because it means it gets dark later. So much more time for activities! That day, the whole gang (me, son, 2 dogs) was on a hike and it was so beautiful that i would challenge myself to walk EVERY SINGLE DAY that week.
The day i went back to work was beautiful and I didn't want it to end, so I brought my gear to work and relished the fact that aftef work, I could quickly get the dogs, the kid, and head out for the trail.
Since J was in school, it was just the dogs and I for the first week. I'm not going to lie, we repeated a lot of trails, but I think thay was a good thing. So much changed in just two weeks. The color and birds started coming back to the forest. It was like we were watching the forest come back to life.
There was one day where it poured the whole day, but I worked on my greenhouses & seedlings before I went and bought myself rain suit and ventured out anyways
My soul feels so refreshed, my body feels good, my son and I bonded, the dogs got exercise, and I saved money because the dogs didn't go to daycare on their normal day. I encourage everyone to challenge themselves. 1 hour outside is 4% of your day, but it makes your day at least 75% more enjoyable.
