\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s April, yet it acts like winter.<\/p>\n

The weather teases us with bright, sunny days and then surprises us with sudden snow storms and freezing temperatures.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m wanting warmth and daffodils, but am experiencing cold and snow.<\/p>\n

Sometimes life is just like that.<\/p>\n

We expect one thing and get another.<\/b><\/p>\n

Leaving my home recently with clear, sunny skies above, I was caught off-guard with a sudden snowstorm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was annoyed with the delay in my travels, and the disruption of my plans.<\/p>\n

Upon passing an elementary school, I had a change of heart.<\/p>\n

The playground was filled with children laughing, running, and having a great time!<\/p>\n

It was below freezing, but these kids were bundled up and didn\u2019t seem to mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They were having fun!<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t focused on what they might have wanted the day to be like.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Instead, they took what was given them, and enjoyed it!<\/b><\/p>\n

It was Spring and I was grumbling because the weather was not what I thought it should be, nor what I wanted.<\/p>\n

These joyful children taught me that day to not only take what the day offers, but to make the best of it.<\/p>\n

And even more so, they taught me to not just accept, but to thrive!<\/b><\/p>\n

Rather than bemoan that which is not wanted or expected, I invite you to take your day and like these children, choose to thrive!<\/p>\n

Much love,<\/p>\n
