The last six weeks

Six weeks ago was the very first day of Thanksgiving break.  Today is the very last day of winter break.  These six weeks are pretty much my favorite six weeks of the year...especially those that fall during the school year!  I really, really love Thanksgiving.  As much as I usually love the Christmas season, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  Maybe it is because it leads right into the Christmas season!  I also just love the long weekend that is usually very unscheduled, that includes lots of family, lots of traditions, and awesome college football!

Today though, is the end of all of that.  I'm always a little bit sad and depressed by this.  Probably because it is never further away from the next holiday season then the end of the current one, but I'm also sure it has to do with school lives as well.  We are really into the thick of the school year and it's busy, but the weather is also cold.  I'm great with snow, not so in love with just the general cold.

What I need to remember though, is that each day, regardless of how mundane or stressful or chaotic or even sometimes unpleasant, is still a blessing.  I try to hold on to that, and I'll be honest, I'm also hoping for several (not just a few, but SEVERAL) snow days that might help our family to have some togetherness!
