Surviving Winter

Posted by admin on Jul 30, 2008 in happiness | 0 comments

This is an odd post for the peak of summer in July. But I have to confess, I’m freaking out about winter coming. Like a squirrel packing away nuts for the winter, I’m storing up projects to get me through those insanely cold months – books to read, pilates lessons, sewing projects. Everyday I add something new hoping this grand “to-do list” will somehow make the winter months fly by.

Then I realized, as my heart sank because I was watching the first pack of geese fly north, that I’m going about this all wrong. I need to forget about winter and focus on our wonderful summer instead. Why aren’t I planning how to enjoy every warm-weather, sun-shiny moment I have right now?

As we enter August, my wish for all my northern hemisphere readers is live in the “now” and have the best summer days ever. I plan to.
