Can you believe this snow? I live in New Jersey and work at CW in White Plains, NY. The snow this winter has been especially interesting. It comes in time for us to close schools in the morning, in order for students, faculty and staff to be safe. The snow has certainly been plentiful this season. And, even though it is beautiful, I am ready for Spring. Faculty, instructors and professors have been conducting classes remotely and students are able to attend without the messy commute.
When weather slows down our pace, I have to wonder if, in fact, this is a deliberate way to get the human race to take a breath, stop and reflect. We all talk about Springtime being the time for rebirth and fresh starts. I look at Winter as the time we can be introspective, spend time in meditation and quiet growth and planning, in order to be ready for the explosion of color, growth and freedom in Spring.
Instead of lamenting the cold weather and snow, think about taking time to enjoy your family, your pets, the quiet that the blanket of snow gives us. It is here for us, a reminder that we deserve peace, rest and reflection.
