snow

I came to the point that I did not enjoy snow.  I guess this feeling developed from living in Chicago because I feel like I enjoyed snow growing up.
This week we got about 5 inches of snow between Thursday night and Friday morning.
I'm really trying to embrace my winter orange ideas and find some joy in the snow.


Here's what I found in the last couple days:
*Play
During lunch time Tuesday & Wednesday, my cube mates-Kyle & Rubina-and I went for walks because it was so nice outside (like 50).
Thursday as the snow was starting to accumulate during lunch we decided we should walk from the cafe to the staff entrance (a very short distance).  Tuesday & Wednesday we planned this walk and brought our coats and we were prepared.  Thursday it was definitely not planned.  In fact, I think all three of us thought we were joking, until we did it. =)
I tried to get a snowball fight going.  I threw a few at Kyle, but it never really got going.  
It was still fun though and I think exactly what I needed in order to attempt to embrace the snow.


*Look up
Stop for a second while you're on a walk somewhere and look up.  (I say stop first because I don't want anyone to fall.)
The trees are actually quite pretty with snow on them.  Look at that beauty, rather than the sludge of the sidewalk.
But be careful.

I figure I need to embrace the snow or it's just going to bring me down... for several months.


I'm very thankful for those walks and I'm thankful for this orangeness, which will surely make my winter much more bearable.
