Anyone in a spring slump? What are you doing to lift yourself up?

Dearest Christine,

We run on a different year to you in the USA so it wouldn't be a spring slump here right now. We are in the midst of summer.

A few years ago I had a really hard time "keeping it all together". There were two things that got me back on track - nature study - get out as much as you can. If it's spring there then make sure at least once a week you pack a picnic basket and head out doors. Time with God - He renews you like no other.

Perhaps by looking at what is causing the slump you may know best how to remedy it. Maybe a short week break to catch up on all the things that are nagging at you..or maybe a camping trip for 2 nights - just change the focus for a bit. Have a fun week of hands on stuff, hide the workbooks/curriculum away and just breathe for a week...

I'm in a spring slump because I left America and it was beautiful spring days and warm weather. We've returned to the m field and it is cool, cloudy and rainy!

It's making me homesick for azelas, sittin' on dad's deck and enjoying the warm sunshine & spring breezes. Isn't it great that the Lord allows us to keep memories so fresh that we can almost feel the breeze on our faces!
