Spontaneous Play Day

I’m not always good at saying “yes” and dropping all my plans for a spontaneous adventure, but yesterday I did. We got out of the house and went to an outdoor park with family where the kids played in a small stream for hours. Distancing myself from news and worries was so healthy for me. I know we can’t always put the big issues on hold—we all have a civic responsibility to show up for big conversations and do our part—but when I have done my part the best I can, sometimes it’s everything I need to step back and live in the realm of things I can control. I really loved this day. I really need more of these days.
