Let It Snow!

A double winter storm hit Connecticut this weekend. School was cancelled Friday, church was cancelled today and it looks like school might be cancelled again tomorrow. Instead of being stuck inside all weekend, I took my snowshoes out of storage and hit the trails twice. The trails were peaceful and beautiful. It felt great to make my heart and lungs work hard, since they have been on 'vacation' since Thanksgiving. :)

Thankfully, Pajama Day at school wasn't cancelled this year. It's one of the students favorite days of the year (and mine too). I watched Oprah on Friday and she said that 85% of Americans hate their job. I couldn't believe it. I am blessed to have an amazing job that I LOVE!

Honesty

I fell off the running wagon awhile ago and hit the ground hard. The worst part of it, is that I love it. It makes me question if I ever was a 'Real Runner'. I thought I was a 'Real Runner' when I first: ran in below freezing temperature, in the pouring rain or while I trained for a marathon. But, when I stop running and don't miss it AT ALL, then I realize that maybe I've just been fooling myself all along. I do love running, but oh how I love NOT RUNNING too.

Enjoy the Christmas season with your family!
Thanks to Jeff, this is my favorite website of the season. Check out the video.
