We Meet Again
The frigid weather broke today.
It was actually warm enough to be outdoors without it taking your breath away.
Who knew a 40 degree day could feel this good?
After being cooped up in the house over a month, it was long over due…and desperately needed.
My husband cleaned out the garage. We could barely walk through all the boxes and junk and now I can actually see the floor!
After playing with the children – listening to them squeal with joy, running around, breathing in the cool air – I did this… alone, and for a long time.
And, Oh-my-God did it feel so good.
So, so good.
I welcomed the burn and endorphins like long lost friends.
The smell of fireplaces burning, mixed with the crisp air made my heart dance.
My breathing was fast, my heart was pumping, my muscles so excited to be used again.
My mood lifted, I felt such peace and joy and love. Nature does it to me every time.
I didn't even care that my nose was cold and that the front's of my legs felt like that 'wet' feeling when the cold sets in…
I was floating on a healthy high.
I miss it already!

5 more days… the doctor says 5 more days, then Sugar should be well and can enjoy the outdoors again. I find myself making excuses to go outside for just a minute just so that I can enjoy the sunshine, the *warmth*
, the fresh air… then I turn and see her little face pressed up to the window wanting to be outside too and I go back inside and hold her a little more.

It's so nice to see the 40's here too. I hope it will last for a while longer and melt some of our snow away. I can't wait for spring!

Oh that looks like such a great idea! It's about 40 here today {total heat wave} so I definitely think we'll be heading out to do a little deep breathing ourselves after naps!
We are spoiled here living in Santa Cruz, CA where it rarely gets below 50 during the day (on a cold day), but having grown up on the east coast, I love the 'after snow cold crisp air' and I love being able to be outside. I am glad you were able to sneak a long walk by yourself to think, get perspective and experience peace.
Usually we think 40 is downright frigid, but after that awful cold spell, we've been so grateful for it's return. Glad y'all got a break as well!
If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to get the credit loans. Furthermore, my mother usually takes a auto loan, which supposes to be the most useful.
