I sit here huddled up, wearing polar fleece and covered by a cozy blanket.
It's January 3rd and I still haven't packed our Christmas decor away.
The holiday season has come and gone.
The New Year has been celebrated.
It's been bitter cold and we're breaking record low temps here in MN.
In fact, our Governor just announced this morning that all public schools in MN
will be closed next Monday due to dangerously cold temps. With a high of about -14 predicted.
And here I am remembering the warmth of 2013.
Gripping onto the spark of summer and the vivid, breathtaking color that comes with it.
Remembering the kind of color that lacks this time of year in the deep of winter.
I find myself dreaming of green leaves, raindrops and the buzzing of delicate wings.
It's hard to believe that all this bright beauty is buried beneath feet of snow, wrapped in the harsh hands of winter.
But it's a comfort to know that in a few months, after a long rest, the cycle will start all over again.
Winter will lose it's hold on us. Bits of brightness will emerge and the warmth of a new season will drape over us.
Until then, stay warm my friends! :)
