Since reading The Happiness Project, the phrase "the days are long, but the years are short", has become my personal daily mantra. This morning's Zits comic strip struck a chord with me. My parents are visiting and my dad asked me why I was hiding eggs and doing baskets for my kids who clearly are beyond believing in the Easter Bunny. I told him it's one of our family traditions. I felt a little defensive about it and thought maybe I was just doing it for myself because I wasn't ready to give it up. However, once I saw my big boys and little girl practically taking each other down in the big hunt, while laughing hysterically, I was convinced that they too like our traditions. May you have a blessed Easter holiday with your loved ones and enjoy celebrating your traditions...be it with children, parents or friends.
