It snowed pretty much all day today. Not heavy snow, but constant and the wind gave us some whiteout conditions every so often.
I stayed in bed this morning. I woke up around 6:15am and would have loved to jump out of bed to go out in the fresh snow like I have for years. But I did not. I pulled the covers over my head and fell back kind-of asleep till 7:30. Then made myself get up since I felt like a lazy slug.
Did my Peloton ride, traded, chores, etc etc. I decided I did not want to go out – didn’t want to get sad. But around 5:30pm said fuck it and did a Peloton 30 min power walk out in the snow. The wind kicked up so also got a facial so that’s nice. Didn’t allow myself to think – kept following the Peloton instructor – so could not get sad.
I really do prefer cold, snowy winter to anything. Take your hot, sunny days and shove ’em.
Got home, started dinner, took a hot shower and then saw the fading light and pink sky with clouds over the snowy forest.
Smokey would have loved fresh snow. We would have had so much fun.
I keep trying. Every day.
