An unexpected snow day on Monday has turned into an unexpected snow week, extending the holiday break and allowing me to rest mentally and physically, but also to do some winter cleaning and decorating (things I truly enjoy) at a leisurely pace. Few things in life bring me such joy as an unexpected snow day, and I am nearly giddy about having the rest of the week off. To clarify, I do love teaching, but with the busy-ness of my holiday choir performance schedules from November right up until the day of break, two weeks just wasn’t enough for me to rest and rejuvenate with all the family parties and Christmas celebrations too and I was dreading going back to work. My body and mind really needed this extra time to reset and I truly feel this has been a gift from God for me personally.
