What makes your heart sing...

Jason drove off Sunday afternoon for St. Meinrads in a mustang for the last week of his sabbatical.

What makes Jason's heart sing? I can tell you!!!

1. People
2. Salmon Fishing, and
3. Driving a convertible mustang

There have been several moments during our sabbatical where I saw Jason experience pure joy. Driving the Mustang was one of those times!

One of the things we will take away from our sabbatical was the time Jason spent learning more about Winston Churchill. Churchill worked hard and he played hard. I think we are always afraid to "play hard" because it seems so unnecessary and a waste of time, money and resources. What we have learned from Churchill is the necessity to play hard - which in the end does rejuvenate the soul and prepare you to work hard.

So with that in mind and the question we were to answer from our sabbatical grant, "What makes your heart sing?", Jason rented a convertible mustang! It's funny how some things can bring such joy and laughter to your soul as driving around in a convertible mustang. I can't think of a better way to end our time together as a family than having each one of us ask Jason/dad to take us for another ride around the block...in the Mustang!
