I love Thankful Thursdays because I believe Praising God can help ANY situation. I mean think about it. Praising God changes everything. It takes the attention off of me!
Today I am Thankful for Spring Breaks. We have been very fortunate and blessed to have been able to take many, many wonderful trips over the years. Some of my favorites were when we used to go to Hilton Head Island every year. I love the Azalea plants. I love walking on the beach and seeing the dolphins. I love Spanish Moss trees. I love everything about it. I even loved the road trips. It took 16 hours to get there. Then as the kids got older we traveled with families of my kids' friends. I miss those days!
Tomorrow my son leaves for Utah to play lacrosse with his team for Spring Break. He is hoping to go skiing in his free time. He has never skied out west and is looking forward to it. Tonight we are watching MSU play Wisconsin in basketball. I love having him home!
There is only one sad thing about Spring Break. I couldn't help but notice my daughter's "away" message... It said, "wishing I still got a 'spring break'." She is working full-time now and reality has set in. I wish we were sneaking away.
Anyway... I am Praising God for all of the memories we have. I Praise Him that I can close my eyes and go back to each place we have visited. We had the time of our lives.
Love to you!

My mother used to call the Spanish moss "squirrel hair" when she was a young girl. I love it too, draping from the mighty trees in the South, and we are about to have an explosion of azaleas, one is already blooming. Sixteen hour drives--and good memories. Those were fun times with our kids too, after the car ride, mostly. We always went to Breckenridge which was about the same car time. At least yours had a seat between them. We had the "He touched me" thing going. I wished you had a Spring Break once more, too. So glad you have sweet memories to share and remind us all of our blessings. Love you, Annette
Yes, spring break and summer vacation go away when we grow up! But maybe it's time for a special spring break trip with just hubby! :)
Spring Break sounds nice. I love your blog. Thanks for sharing.
My sweet boss always booked 2 weeks off for spring break. We would spend one week on holiday and just come home and enjoy free time for the other week.
Family memories of any kind are the best! We are heading to the beach for our Spring break....a few weeks away....just hope its warm....or warmer!
Love ya~

I love Azaleas and hope to see them blooming when I go South in a few weeks! I had to chuckle at your daughter's comment, mine has said the same thing to her brothers (1 in college & 1 in HS) the last two years since she has been out!
