I am not sure if you can totally appreciate it but the mounds up near the house are about 3 and a half feet deep. And they are not budging! The high today was -5ish yes that is a minus you see in front of the 5 and yes it was the high. Needless to say it is cold and at least for the foreseeable week ahead promises more of the same. Wednesday sees us hitting 11 degrees with more snow. Hmm… I think it is a little ridiculous at this point. Needless to say we are saying prayers of thanksgiving for our home and our furnace and mostly for our insulated garage. Gotta love cars that will start in the morning! We have had an amazing holiday with John home for Christmas for the first time in 5 years, my Mom and Dad here ripping open of packages, lots of good food and just time in general which is always a gift.
The new year is upon us and I am nearing a year older. I always wonder how I got here, I mean this old, and to this place and time. I look back and I can remember and feel all the places, people and situations that have brought me this far and yet it feels like it rushed past in a blurr. I want to savor it all more, appreciate the people, places and situations to their fullest. How about that for sentimental mushyness?! All joking aside I want to continue living life to the fullest not just going through the motions.
Well I hope the new year greets you all with warm welcoming arms and the thrill of a new adventure. Hope your holidays were as full of family and love as mine.
Happy New Year!
Hugs to all!
