As I sit peacefully typing away at my story and other tidbits of joy, with a thud in my stomach I realize that my priorities have marched by.....leaving my poor little blog 'smooshed' in the mud. I will try to keep my priorities less violent, and attempt to save my blog from the thick goo that now covers it......I do apologize....

Christmas is over and Winter is here......so what next? Freeze in the chill? Burrow under blankets and sleep until spring? No....what next is something much much more.
We can all decide what to do with our days. Usually the most common suggestion....and the most common road taken....is to be lazy and try not to let any cold air touch you as you eat cookies and possibly read a book all day.



Sure...that is not a bad thing if you want to have a lazy day 'once in a while', but 'once in a while' sometimes turns to 'once in a week', then 'once in a day', then from there you are History. If you find yourself in the rut of doing this....a rut that grows deeper every day.....then throw your head up high, wrap a scarf beneath it, and run outside and do a cartwheel in the snow. A few weeks ago I surprised myself by rushing outside, in jeans and a short sleeve shirt mind you, and doing a snowangel. Nevertheless I must admit I hugged the fireplace for about an hour. One of these days my random exploits will lead to my death....

It is up to YOU to decide what you do in your days. Sit and be lazy or do something productive (but less deadly I imagine). Good luck!

(I know this has nothing to do with writing.....but ahh....such is life! Sometimes things may come unexpected.....)
