The weather is pretty bad where I'm located. Our mayor issued a "Level 3" status which means that if you are caught driving on the street you will be issued a ticket and possibly arrested if your reason isn't good enough. The mayor also declared today "Family Day" and encouraged the people of the city to use this day as a day to reconnect, chill, and maybe even have a snow ball fight with your loved ones. I thought that was cool...

Since I don't have kids or roommates to throw snowballs at, I will use this time (I have been working from home) to:

• invite myself to slow down



• reconnect with Oprah



• allow myself to fall asleep when I want to



• clean



• read



• stare and think

But this will all happen after I get out here on my porch, steps, and sidewalk and shovel all of the snow and ice that has accumulated. I caught myself laughing this morning because this amount of snow makes some folks mad. But it makes me laugh because I know that this kind of weather makes us slow down. I am truly thankful for this opportunity to slow down, rest, and appreciate the beauty that is winter.
