THE FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH A TRANSITION THIS YEAR SO IT WAS NOT OUR TRADITIONAL EASTER CELEBRATION WITH EVERYONE HOME. ONCE THE PANIC IS OVER, YOU DO START TO THINK THAT PERHAPS LESS CHAOS MIGHT BE A GOOD CHANGE.

THE DAY WAS ORDINARY, IN THE SENSE THAT IT WAS NOT FILLED WITH HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EXPECTATIONS NOR A TON OF DEADLINES TO MEET. INSTEAD IT WAS UNRUSHED, CASUAL AND RATHER RELAXING. OUR DAY ENDED WITH A HIKE THAT OVER LOOKED A NEARBY RIVER.

IT WAS A DIFFERENT EASTER AND YES I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY FAMILY ALL AROUND, CREATING CHAOS AND HAVING EXPECTATIONS, BUT IT IS ALSO NICE TO SLOW LIFE DOWN AROUND YOU AND CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY. HAPPY EASTER TO ALL
