A Re-visit
Yes, today marks Day #7 of what is a proposal but not the only way to prepare for Super Bowl Sunday (however you may spend it). Days 1 to 5 were geared toward physical activity, Now, without forgetting about physical activity that you may have tried for the first time in a while or in a short period, Day #7 = reflecting on your day via writing, meditating, prayer, etc. Just something that makes you comfortable. You may already do this on a daily basis.
Hey...just promoting another form of wellness.
Snow What!
Does anyone need any snow that he/she has not seen in a while or at all this winter?... Just checking.
This vast accumulation of snow has prompted me to delay some topics that I wanted to cover up to this point. That's OK because those topics will still arrive. But, I believe I am witnessing the biggest winter snow total of my entire life...and my feelings are well (hey, just because we're talking overall well-being it does not mean that every topic is glorified.)
I'm not going to mention that you need to workout. Or, post an exercise or stretch. Or, give a challenge. These, without a doubt and more, will come in later posts. In keeping up with the health, fitness, and wellness connection this large "snow-military" that has dropped out of the sky can remind all of us about how we face adversity.
Snow. Adversity? Riiiight.
Well, over the past month we have seen snow do its thing: In Hawaii it snowed. In DC it snowed and left thousands without power. In Florida...oops, it didn't snow. In Boston, it snowed so much in January that the month's total alone almost surpassed an entire winter season's average for the area. In Georgia, it snowed and a plow fell through a parking deck roof.
Big deal? Who cares?
We can embrace it. It's an awesome phenomenon of life. I bet if we controlled the snow we would really despise it. Since we do not control it, we might as well live for it (nope, I was not going to say deal with it, live with it, or suck it up). A lot of shoveling, plowing, and slipping has occurred this winter season; so living for the snow because it is a part of winter weather is almost a privilege.
Oh, listen. Everyone in Florida is clapping. Oh, be quiet, Sunshine-Staters. Ha!
