Winter Wonderland

Yes, another snow/ice/freezing rain filled weekend....I'm choosing to embrace the quiet of the neighborhood and the hunkering-down-in-bed reading time.  Lots of others are complaining understandably, tired of this long, frigid season.  

I see this as the time to complete our hibernation, our dreamtime, our inner preparation.  Just like the bulbs planted last fall, we are in total trust of the coming warmth of spring, the perfect timing to sprout and the longer days that are coming.  They will be here in the next month or two, showing off their bright green leaves, some of them blooming, others budding, and we'll be able to enjoy their presence, where a few weeks before, there was only ice and barren soil.

So, while the days are still a bit shorter, the temps outside keeping most of our activities inside, it's a great time to plot out our year.  Clean out closets.  Get taxes prepped and/or filed.  Catch up on reading.  Journal.  Dream.  Be still and listen.  I'm going to go for a mind-clearing walk/slide to enjoy the cold and gratefully appreciate the warmth of our home when I return!
