It's hard to set big goals for yourself when you live in the north, and it's January, where the cold days themselves are challenging enough. Perhaps it would be better to hold off on making those big plans until spring when warmer weather is approaching and other things are beginning to grow again too.
Spot on, it is not the time of year to be making big plans, at least not for us. Today, we finally settled on turning down a trip to Mongolia in June, something that had been weighing on our minds for several months now. Intuition tells us the timing, and the circumstances, weren't right. Also, two other travel plans fell through, one for soon, the other for August. I don't know if that's a sign of the times, or of things to come, or perhaps we should just focus on spending our energy at home, after all, plans fall through for a reason, we aren't trying to resist any of them. Not a great start to the new year, yet somehow the days keep charging ahead.
Yesterday's TC slush was shocking, today's sheets of ice challenging. Good reason to stay in, light a fire, and noodle around with a WIP. The coffee's great, poached egg on toast also nourishing!
Beautiful post, Heidi! We have some snow at the moment, but literally only an inch or two. Yesterday most of it melted, and our snowman fell on his face with a quiet thump. But there are very cold days ahead, so winter is not yet past. So sorry you're having rain! Hope it will snow by you soon again. Wishing you a year of happiness, prosperity, and everything else your hearts desire!
Thank you Heidi. I agree whole heartedly.
