Spring Break

"Take care of yourself...
then give yourself to the WORLD!"...D.M.

This is the time of year when many of us are feeling the effects of the dark days of winter. In Alaska it was literally "Cabin Fever". Tough mountain man types who had managed to make it through the winter in a cabin all alone suddenly went crazy and had to be shipped out of town to a "facility." Spring Break-up didn't just refer to the ice going out on the Yukon. Come spring, it was common for couples or families to break up as well.

If we haven't taken care of ourselves through the winter months, this can happen here too. We start to feel down in the dumps, easily irritated, discouraged. It's hard to teach and hard to learn. Hard to love and hard to deal with everyday challenges.

So time to find some sun, ramp up the exercise, and spend an extra amount of time doing something fun and relaxing with those we love.

Spring Break here we come!
