The
small thing I’m celebrating this week is letting go.
I know last week I wrote how much I hate schedules, but they’re really necessary
to get things done, and all that is true, but this week I learned something
even more important. Sometimes schedules should be broken. Today I should do
five pages of math with my seven year old, along with about a hundred other
things, but I’m not. We’re going apple picking at a local orchard that has 350
different varieties of apples-can you imagine that? We’re riding in a wagon,
eating fresh-made donuts, and having homemade apple cider, all with my mom and
sis and her kids. Then we’re ending it all with a picnic in the woods.
Deciding to forgo the schedule for a day: A small,
but wonderful thing.
Name
a movie character’s personality who is you to a tee:
Katniss Everdeen. I don’t love a lot of people, but those I do, I’m fiercely
protective over. And being outside feels
almost like a heartbeat to me.
How
about you? Any small things you’re celebrating? What movie character’s
personality do you resemble?
Can I go with you? That sounds like a fun day!
ReplyDeleteThe apple picking sounds wonderful! Playing hooky from the to-do list is sometimes the most helpful thing in being more productive the day after. Nothing gets your energy up like happiness. :-)
ReplyDeleteApple picking instead of maths, sounds like a good choice to me :)

Oh, that sounds so fun! Enjoy your day at the orchard!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that sounds much better than following your schedule. Sometimes we need a break :)
ReplyDeleteThat does sound fun - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely made the right choice, it sounds like great fun.
ReplyDeleteHi, Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI am celebrating the removal of my cast. i can type two handed again! YAY! I am also celebrating the fact that I am on the mend from my accident last month and feeling stronger each day.
I LOVE apple picking! When I was a kid in NYC, my Dad drove us to the country in upstate NY every autumn to apple pick, get our pumpkin and spend a fun-filled day. I MISS those time. And WOW.... 350 different varieties of apples? AMAZING>>>
Have a wonderful weekend with your family, Melanie....
That sounds like a perfect reason to let go. Sometimes we need it. And it feels great!
ReplyDeleteMovie character like me to a tee: Polly from Along Came Polly. It's uncanny. :)
Have a wonderful apple picking day!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend! I'm celebrating a weekend with no committments or responsibilities - a rarity. I should be writing, but I spent most of the day reading and catching up on blogs. Character...hmmm...I think I'm Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird, all grown up but still a tomboy and still curious about people.
ReplyDeleteHey Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI actually came over for the Follow Fest, so I followed your links to all the things in which I participate.

ReplyDeleteI should probably force a schedule onto myself. lol I'm so scatterbrained.
