Blizzard Weather

Today, as the Blizzard is roaring outside my window, making the outside world seem as one big white mass where nothing really exists, I am thankful that I have the opportunity to simply sit on my sofa, browse the Internet and indulge in a few guilty pleasures, such as watching Gossip Girl or Grey's Anatomy, while sipping my third cup of coffee. Yes, I admit, I should fold my laundry and take this sudden opportunity to be house bound to do those domestic chores that too often are ignored during the week. But my theory is that since the snow is making the outside world slow down for a few moments, it should slow down indoor activities as well. How often do you get to just sit down and do nothing?

While dreaming of another snow day tomorrow, I imagine I will spend it outdoors, walking through drifts of snow, building a snowman or even sledding at the nearby neighbourhood hill. I will be outdoors until my cheeks are cold and gloves are wet, until my friends are tired and the laughter and play is coming to an end. Then I will go home, snuggle up under a blanket, read a book while drinking a hot cup of tea. I will be thankful for everything the day had to bring.

As you can tell, I plan on enjoying this winter weather. Hope you will have the opportunity to do the same! Happy snow day everyone. Be safe.
