I hope you threw the Palm out the window today

It was beautiful today. Stunning. The kind of day Spring dreams of, with air that smells good enough to eat, and people out and about with nothing better to do than dream.

I hope you threw away your schedules today. We set out to have a Day. Nothing much to do. Went for a walk. Went to a birthday party. Stopped at the park. Admired the flowers.

We overschedule our lives, and I found myself guilty of it this winter. Today was a perfectly lazy day.  Our children need time to just do nothing. How else will their brains recharge? Remember to schedule in time for nothing to do. You’d be surprised by how useful and productive that do-nothing time is!
