Snow days
Am I the only person who marvels at the manner in which a snow storm can render an entire metropolis helpless? Think about it, meteorologists begin tracking the path of a storm days in advance. People flock to nearby grocery stores to stock up on food, shovels and salt for their walkways. Schools and government agencies shut down in anticipation of a wintry precipitation. Eventually as promised ...the powdery, white substance blankets our streets, cars, homes, and everything else within panoramic eye shot. Then for at least a few moments in time, everything around us seems still, calm, unhurried... tame even.
What if you had the ability to create your own snow days? Are your project deadlines at work beginning to consume you ... perfect time for a snow day. Do your students make you feel nauseous... sounds like snow day material to me. Is your cuddle buddy considering going home (to his/her own place) for a couple of days... bring on the snow. Shamefully, the busy body in you would likely prevent you from sitting still long enough to even take advantage of a nice relaxing snow day. Sunday felt as if it were my first true snow day in ages. I didn't concern myself with housework, preparation for the work week ahead, recreation, relationships, or any of my normal routines. I simply enjoyed the opportunity to do absolutely nothing. Every once in a while I welcome a snow day to mellow my otherwise hectic regimen. You might want to do the same. But since today is not one of those snow days, it's probably in both of our best interest to return to doing something productive.
