Make the Most Out of What You’re Given!
Winter hasn’t been the friendliest this season and people are starting to get restless! My skin is so white that I am camouflaged in the snow, my feet are in a constant state of pruniness (my fault for being too cheap to buy good winter boots), and my puffy coat, or as I affectionately call it, “my wearable sleeping bag” is getting so used and abused, there are feathers following me every where I go. In any event, I have to say that I am enjoying the GOOD that comes with Winter Time. For one, I am relishing in hibernating. It is only natural and I don’t have to apologize for following nature’s natural rhythm. In this time of inwardness, I have taken the opportunity, albeit painful, to look within and dig out the cobwebs that I am not interested in bringing with me this spring. Furthermore, when I am feeling frisky, I love that I have a winter wonderland in my backyard (Prospect Park) to frolic in, make snowmen (above) and snow-angles. I have never seen such pure joy on the faces of dogs as they gleefully (and peefully) make yellow snow…and on the faces of young ones as they sled down a 3-foot mole hill, only to do it again and again with the same excitement as if they were going down a huge mountain. That being said, I love watching the parents (and nannies) as they patiently (and freezingly) stand there and watch as the child does this over and over again. This is life. Shit happens, and you have to make the best of it. Just remember, this too will pass! Speaking of Best of it, I’ve got the best of it coming up, from workshops, to bath salts, to specials to COSTA RICA! So read below and join us!
Much love this remaining winter,
Natalie
