Holy Snow, Batman!

I just read blogging is dead. What? I just started!
The pressure is insane. My friend Write Jay Write is a professional writer. He is damn funny. Sweet Go Blog Yourself has the wisdom of a thousand years. Who the heck am I?

Just keep swimming, as they say in Nemo.

We just had a killer snowstorm. Yeah, check the date. April 17th, and we got 2 feet of snow. We played in it like it was the first snow of the year! In fact, it sort of felt like the first snow of the year-as we were dry as a bone around here nearly all winter. It felt great to send the kids out for sledding! They made a snowman! We did our own version of the Polar Bear Club where we rolled around in the snow in our bathing suits! We made hot cocoa, and built our own pizzas. I felt like a real Martha Stewart! It was all so fun, and made me appreciate the fun 4 seasons bring! My kids inspired me this weekend to live in the moment!
I have been reminded again and again to live in the now this winter. A family friend lost their baby to cancer. I slowed down my business to a level that was a much better fit for my family. I saw my dad live his dream seeing his family from 4 to 70 years old skiing down the mountain with him. I saw another friend lose their 11 year suddenly to some mystery illness. I am living through the tears and questions and anguish this created.
I guess what I'm saying is NOW is the TIME. Time to tackle it. Let's go! Whatever it is, I gotta get after it. Body, mind, soul... I got big plans.
