Doldrums or Winter Wonderland: It is all Perspective
The middle of winter and the Groundhog did not see his shadow, enough to make any California native very depressed. And then I hear the yelling and screaming and fighting and playing and am forced to see things from another perspective; the six (almost) and three year old perspective.
Six inches of snow is very cool, a day off school is good but we still spend the day discussing our classmates and daily routines. This is the perspective of a person who embraces each day, enjoys her classmates, enjoys her teachers especially her new student teacher (thank you Miss Megan) and just basically gets what we adults do not….life is good and exciting and offers continued opportunities to learn…even when it is 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
