Snowflakes...

[fajrdrako]

It has been snowing all day. Pretty, fluffy snow. Walking is difficult but the pretty snow itself lifts my spirits. Since nature is making its own snowflakes, I feel inspired to make a few of my own. A person on one of my mailing lists said, after playing with this site for a while: "It isn't possible to make an ugly snowflake." I've always thought that.

And here we are, on the shortest day of the year. I look our my window and it's dark already. I think I'll light candles when I get home tonight.

I'm on week 1, day 3 of my new exercise/diet program, and Wednesdays are days without exercise. I miss it. Something of my day's structure is gone. I woke up at 6 without the need to roll out of bed and into exercise clothes; I suppose I should have done yoga instead, but that didn't seem in keeping with the spirit of the plan (I told myself), so I picked up a book and read for a while. Then had trouble putting it down when I really should have been getting dressed.
