8 year old wisdom

Yesterday was so warm it smelled like sunshine.
I decided to take my grade 3's out of the dungeon of learning for a few moments of fresh air. Jaidyn, my little day dreamer, looks up to the sky with arms wide, eyes closed, twirling and exclaims, "Ahhh! It's so good to be alive."
I agree.
Even when you have parent-teacher interviews.
Even when you need to mark papers.
Even when you hear rumours about an upcoming blizzard.
Even though the sh*t is hitting the fan in Zimbabwe.
There's still that moment when the sun kisses your cheek for the first time in spring, and it just feels so good to be alive.
