It’s been nice/warm enough around here lately to get some walks in. Fresh air never felt so good. Winter is long around here (especially in a small town, I’m finding). This is our first winter is a town well under the 250,000 we’ve been used to (our sign says population 1,200, I believe). If I’m being completely truthful, it’s been tough. Not a lot to do when I get home after dark during the work week because the sun sets so early. It does definitely help to have an adorable toddler who constantly makes us smile and laugh. A Facebook friend posted this caption that I’ve adopted as my mantra in the last few weeks: “If the grumpies threaten to stay, go outside and walk them away.” Yesterday was gorgeous and there was no grumpiness to be found. Perfect for Sabbath.
