This morning sun came out, the snow sparkled, and we got a great 1.5-hour workout shoveling the driveway and porch steps. We did not lose electricity, and we have nowhere we need to be. We’re pretty happy and cozy…except for a little cabin fever. But that’s just the kids.

Imperfect Happiness 
I don’t even know what to say, but I’m glad everyone is okay. It looks beautiful, but it may not be so pretty when you are out shoveling it.

You know, the shoveling wasn’t so bad. Thinking about it made it worse, so I tried not to think about it. It really was a great workout and I felt great afterwards. But when my spouse offered to shovel a path to the compost bin while the kids and I watched a documentary about oceans, I didn’t try to stop him.
