I went out for a walk today. The temperature has warmed up considerably. The past two weeks has brought us in consistently at around -35 to -40, not withstanding the windchill. It's tough to even put that equation into it, really cold is just that, really cold.The last couple of days the sun has brought us warmth of up to -25 or so, with little wind, so it feels quite balmy. Nonetheless, I venture out for a walk each day, otherwise the days just turn into nights and the nights into days all over again, with little to vary even a moment.
I bundle up with my Sorrels and Raccoon fur, that I had tried for sometime to justify not wearing, mostly because I am against both trophy hunting and animal cruelty. I love all animals. I don't have to justify this to anyone, really and those who know me would attest to that truth. My coat is old, very old, and yet still very warm. I have just finally decided that I too, should be warm, and it made absolutely no sense to just toss it out. So with and ventured outside to greet the wind, sun, and snow.
As I walked along the lake, I pondered back on my last couple of years. What made it so difficult. What were the opportunities and what were mistakes along way. And as I look back, I do feel that I took hold of every opportunity that came before me, or us, there was little more than I could have done that I did not.
I spent much of my time looking towards the good and finding the positive, even when it feel so out of reach.
