an anytime blessing
ahh, spring vacation!
naturally, this means different things to different folks depending on which side of the school year one is on, *parent or teacher.
some things i never want to take a vacation from, such as learning ever-increasing compassion (which starts with self-compassion and goes outward from there to others and the world). regardless of where you find yourself, here is a blessing that was given to me on shared retreat that you can say to yourself and over anyone else you choose:
"may you be happy. may you be well. may you be filled with kindness and peace."
i read that four mental pillars to happiness include: perspective, humility, humor, and acceptance. the four pillars of heart? forgiveness, gratitude, generosity and compassion.
*stay tuned for my vacation reading list, as i am on the teacher side and have, as typical reading greed would have it, amassed a huge stack from the library shelves...
