Being here now

It can be hard being here now, it’s dark and cold, too cold one week and not cold enough the next. Last week we saw almost 10 below and now its pushing 40. Not much snow yet this new year, not much ice for hockey either.  Lots of friends out of town for the holidays.  Lots of Facebook posts from Hawaii.  And yet every day is a little lighter than the last, and when the sky clears you feel alive. Now is the best time for family time, quiet time, paper work time, and for just being.  Happy new year everybody!
