Poor winter.

Everyone moans & complains about winter…the cold…the snow…the cabin fever! Once Christmas is over, winter is wished away & the calls for spring start. I think the reason winter gets such a bad rap is that it impeeds the quick pace of life.

The elements of winter force us inside. Our systems slow down. We want to sleep more, eat more & generally be more lazy than when the sun is shining & our skin is soaking up the warm air of summer. Sometimes it even snows & then we are all trapped inside with our newly purchased eggs, bread and milk. Everyone moans even louder then…

But why? Winter is a reminder. A little whisper in our ear telling us to sit still for awhile & just do nothing. Enjoy each others company & bust out the Monopoly. The art of being still seems lost to most of us these days. Why not reclaim it?  Make some potato leek soup & chill. Summer will be here soon enough & then we will all be moaning about the heat.

One way to enjoy a snow day is to steal your sisters ipod touch & play endless rounds of Rat on the Run with your dad. Henry gives it 2 thumbs up!
