Easter!

A time to relax and contemplate life. Those of us with a Christian faith, if gives us a chance to reflect on and be thankful for the great sacrifice Jesus made for us. Those without, there is still a lot to be thankful for - a time to enjoy family and friends, special treat food (eating Easter eggs before Lent even starts seems so wrong to me), spending a few days in the garden....taking time out from our usual busy routines....

Routines are great as they get you through the ususal day almost on auto-pilot so you can spend mental energy on thinking of the things that are unusal or important. Making school lunches is routine, so you can spend the mental effort in actually checking if your 10-year-old has done her spelling...but having a break from then gives you a chance to reflect, recharge your bnatteries and contemplate seomthing higher than the day to day.

We close the practice on Good Friday, Easter Eve, Easter Day and Easter Monday. A break is good. Enjoy yours.
