My breath catches
in the bitter cold
Teeth chatter
Shoulders shake
To escape Winter’s arrival,
I need to move faster
Instead, my motions slow
Besides, there is no escaping
And winter won’t last forever
Merely long enough
to remind me what
is important
Warmth from
a cozy blanket
Steam from a
cup of hot tea
The much-needed
rest that occurs
as I lean my head
against your shoulder

Perfect winter wisdom, dear friend! ❄️❄️ beautiful!

From the way our traffic is it’s going to be a big one I’m thinking, Kelley! My niece’s bday party is canceled. I’ve spend the last several days helping my parents prepare. I’ve thought of you often and prayed too!
It might be the prettiest snow yet?
Sending love and hugs. ❄️❄️🤗
