December 7: snow ❄️

In todays very rushed society, I think snow can be quite an inconvenience. Getting dressed and making your way out to the car, getting the car ready to leave...

I remember always coming much later than usual to drop off at kindergarten during winter. I could not get used to it.

All the extra time it takes, easily adds a
layer of stress - because dispite the change in season and weather, things go on as usual.

We work the normal eight hours a day, five days a week. Need to pick up kids, drop of kids, need to do activities, work out, meet friends, meet family participate in this, or that... While there are huge changes in the natural world - our lives look more or less the same all year round, just a bit more inconvenient, due to a layer of snow.

I feel like the past few years, I have gotten a deeper appreciation going with the flow of life. Slowing down when there are obsticles, rather than pushing through.

I think it's a good thing to realise this - that it's OK to be resting. It's OK to slow down. It's OK to do less. To engage less. To do the bare minimum. It's winter. Let the snow muffle out the pressure until you can't hear it anymore. ❄️
