And
believe me, I can't believe I'm saying this, but it is nice to see
some real New England Winter weather today. Even though the
impending Snow Storm wreaked havoc on my Fibromyalgia symptoms
yesterday, I'm enjoying this wintery day.
This
morning I thought Shrek had an appointment today, but he said no,
it's Friday. With the winter weather getting worse later in the day,
I told him I was not going to have the truck today because I was not
going to drive in this weather, no matter what. I cannot handle the
focus I need to have on the road, other drivers, it completely
exhausts me (thanks Fibro!), AND I wanted to sleep in this morning.
Guess What???
It
Was “I” Who Had a Dr. Appointment....
Thank
goodness Mr. M's office is within walking distance, and I was
actually looking forward to the walk. It is a great time for me to
be “Mindful” of what I experience on the walk, and I'd be leaving
and getting home before the storm was supposed to get here. Leaving
in plenty of time, I started on my journey, enjoying the chirps of
the birds, paying attention to how individual cars' engines sound
differently, noticing bushes with bare branches, and the trees with gnarled
branches. Not to mention the Architecture on some of these old
houses! (That's another blog, when I can take Shrek with me to take
pictures of what I saw.)

Check out this Re purposed Window Frame. Not the greatest picture, but it is adorable.
One
of the unique things about New England weather is how quickly it can
change, and change it did. I was almost there when I noticed the
first flurries tumble down. Light, tiny, whispy flakes. I
smiled.......go ahead, call me crazy!
As
much as the weather changes bother my Fibromyalgia, and I get chilled
to the bone so easily, I missed the “quiet” the snow brings. An
hour later, the flakes were tumbling more quickly. I bundled up with
my extra wide, extra long scarf and began the walk home. A whole new
landscape for me to see, and I smiled.
Call Me Crazy!
