Spring is about to spring!

Just a few more days before the official 1st day of spring. We've had several wonderful sunshine-filled days; today, not so sure about the sunshine. It's looking rather grey with ominous clouds scattered about.
Spring break, as I remember it, was a chance for school kids to enjoy time with family and friends away from school on a vacation,if we were really fortunate; not these days, though. We spent our first day of 'spring break' @ a district softball game and today will be the same. Maybe we should rename the 'break' part to 'blink' since it will be over in the 'blink' of an eye with no vacation to sooth our tired souls. In the old days, our spring break gave us the boost we needed to make it through, what seemed at the time, to be relentless days of school until summer break! I now realize that it all went too quickly and I should have relished those school days and put more focus on enjoying my studies, right? Alas, the cruel hands of time will not turn back, only forward at what seems to be a terribly rapid pace.
So this day we will enjoy our 'spring break' softball game feeling blessed to have, if only a few, days left to play or work @ what we choose without more softball.
