Stuck

Submitted by Damselfly

I just had Jaxon outside for a play session in the yard.  I use the term “yard” loosely, as it is more a bog right now than a yard.  The ground is squishy and soft making for a muddy mess of both of us.  I have gotten wise to his games, and keep my rain gear (pants and jacket) hanging by the door. I garb up before going out, thus making a bit less laundry and only one of us needs wiped down when we come in.

Sous-Vide

I am in love with food.  That is, of course, the biggest reason I have had a difficult time with maintaining a healthy body.  I love food that is good for me, and unfortunately, food that is not.  Such is the way of a food lover!  I do work hard to do the best I can… hence my journey through the winter months.

Do you ever feel stuck?  I do.  I think most of us feel that way from time to time.  I am a champion at devising methods to keep busy, often wondering if I have time to get it all done… yet I sometimes feel I am going nowhere.  Winter is infamous for that feeling in my history book.  The roots of negativity grow deep within me.  I cultivated them for many years.

February can be a tough month in a cold, blustery part of the world.  The weather is all over the place, with plenty of extra exercise getting the snow moved out of the way.  Jaxon and I have both been grateful that the temperatures have not been bitter cold and we can get outside.  I am so glad that dog loves the snow!  There is good news… the days are getting longer, and soon spring will be knocking on the door.

It is a blustery winter’s morning here in my corner of the globe.  Daily blankets of snow have once again replaced our wet, muddy winter.  It creates extra exercise for me as I work to keep the driveway cleared.  I got my first workout in well before the sun came up…and some extra at daybreak getting the driveway cleared.

That feels so good.

It has been bitter cold the past couple of days in this corner of the globe.  I am feeling fortunate to have a warm home, plenty of food, and find beauty in snowfall. 

My life is good.

Despite feeling fortunate about my life, and embracing Danish hygge this winter, I find myself struggling a bit day-to-day.  January is a difficult month, despite the newness of the year.
