Woke up today and the snow was really coming down.  By 2p.m., I believe we had 6-7 inches.  I think we ended up getting 8-10 inches of snow. 

Yes, it’s pretty–if you don’t have to drive anywhere.

I stayed at home today, working on some projects, including a new vision board that is more specific related to my personal vision.  It was fun to be inside where it is warm and dry.

My squirrel friends still managed to eat their daily seeds.  One little brown squirrel dug into the ground, making himself a make-shift igloo.  Now and then, he’d pop up to get air and all you could see was his little head.  A little black squirrel ate and ate up in the tree feeder while his fur coat was all covered in white snow.  Poor little things!

Did I mention that I really, really dislike winter?  I now have two comforters on my bed for the chilly nights.  My teapot is constantly going.  BRRR!

I find myself looking at my pictures from my recent Hawaiian vacation.  Actually, I’m working on finding a way to get to someplace warm again soon!  I am not sure where or when, but I’m putting it out there.  In reality, it’s more like I said, “Hey, Universe, get me out of the cold Michigan winters–now!” 

Yep, I have issues with patience.  I’m working on them.

But, I am grateful for my warm home and not having a day job to travel to every day.  I’m grateful that I am not going crazy this year with holiday stuff.  I am perfectly calm and relaxed.  This year, we didn’t send out Christmas cards.  We didn’t put up a tree or decorate.  We didn’t buy many gifts at all.  It feels really good to simplify our lives this way and to focus on what really matters–LOVE.

I still am not good at loving winter, however…

Hugs,
