This winter seems like it's never going to end. Today is a bright sunny day and it makes my heart smile. But when I look beyond the sunshine, I'm bombarded by snowbanks taller than I am! It's just not right! I want this winter gone today and the snow melted by tomorrow. Simple as that. Well, here in my little corner of London, ON Canada, it just ain't gonna happen.
Much to our dismay this has been on of the hardest winters in a long time. Getting out and being able to exercise is often a struggle for many of us. In the winter I find it's easy to become housebound. The colder it is, the worse the pain seems to be as well. Do you notice this too? I used to think it was crazy when I heard people say they could feel it when it was about to rain. I don't think its crazy any more.

Even in the winter, it is important for us to keep active and our bodies moving. One thing that has gotten me through the rough patches has been my music. It gets me through doing the chores I really hate to do but have to do anyway...who said being an adult was fun? chores...chores...chores...but while I'm putting away the laundry or doing the dreaded dishes, and all the other chores I have to do, I'm dancing to the music. So when you can't get out and about...do it wherever the music moves you.
Remembering where this picture was taken...Collingwood ON....the time spent with my daughter exploring the shore line and skipping rocks...feeling the heat of the sun recharging my body...helps to bring me back to that day. I can smell the water, hear the seagulls as they soar higher and higher in the sky. I still even hear my daughter laughing or her saying "hey Mom check me out climbing on the rocks". Remembering that day, makes me feel like I'm right there again.
Although I'm still impatiently waiting for the days I can walk again without fear of slipping on the ice, the music keeps me moving and my memories keep me recharged.
Take good care of you.
