A bit of positive motivation

The many small tempests and storms of life toss us under dark skies. Mostly small issues ... in the larger scheme of things ...

On this tired and sore morning, a bit of positive motivation is needed.

You know, ... everything is going to be alright.

Winter's end ...

Skiing on Sunday ....

Tomorrow it's supposed to be 72 degrees! Wow! I would imagine that we'll see some more snow before it's all over and done for the season. It's nice to know that a new seasons arrival is imminent. Still, I can't help feel a bit sad .... winter is truly beautiful here and this winter brought us a most perfect and unimaginable little gift who, at this very moment, rests in the arms of the other most wonderful gift I've ever been privileged to receive.

One season ends and another waits just off in the distance to spring upon us. Winter will return again. Fires lit, warm stews simmer, chilled red cheeks come in from the cold, puffy coats crackle when the mercury plummets, snow squeals and scrunches underfoot, and love glows warm. Yes, winter will return. We'll wait, all the while reveling in the beauties life continues to offer.
