Happiness is making the most of what you have. 

Rosamunde Pilcher

This year money is tight – nothing new with most homeschoolers – but a much needed break is desired in my house, a break from the everyday, a break from the bickering and a break from the heat.  We really can’t afford a real vacation but we are fortunate that we are less than 2 hours away from civilization and we can head to the mountains to “experience nature”. 

Now I am not exactly the “nature type” – I don’t mind camping as long as I have a soft place to sleep, warm water and warmth when I am cold – I don’t think I am asking too much LOL.  We will head out camping this summer as often as we possibly can to get that “vacation” feeling.  I’m not super excited about it all but I will find “happiness in making the most of what I have” and what we can afford to do.  I’m sure God will show me even more happiness by just being willing to “experience nature”.
