Yesterday we attempted to fly our box kites. They did ok for a bit but needed some repair. It was a wonderful lesson to teach that sometimes you take risks and that the kites were built for flying...not for sitting in our dining room. We then realized that it was too perfect a windy day to not REALLY fly kites. A quick trip to the store and 3 pretty kites later and we had a breezy hill of wonder. I was telling the kids that when life gives you wind....go fly a kite. There's that theme again...deal with what you are given.
It was sunny. The winds were blowing. I had two healthy children flying their new kites. My Dad watched from the side. I had a partner to help with the string entanglements. It was a good moment. A moment that removed me from the everyday of life that can be a burden.
But it is Monday and I am feeling overwhelmed already at the thoughts of all I have to do this week alone...let alone for the rest of the month and beyond. I am doing my list of minor rants to a silly song in the hopes to lighten my load. I will tie my troubles to the tail and I will toss my worries to the wind...
