Perhaps this snow is a reminder of who is in control and who most definitely isn't. Maybe this snow is a reminder of how we should deal with all our problems in our lives. Slow down. Just keep plowing through. Find a way to live your life despite it. Be thankful when things are good, because they can get bad and then worse. Pray that things get better. Trust that things will turn around and look forward to it, because really, what other choice do we have?
Being negative and angry will still get you to the end result but the journey will be far less enjoyable for you and the ones close to you. And once you get there you won't be singing praises of how great it is, you will still be complaining of how long and hard it was to get there.
This weather has definitely put a damper on my spring plans. I've actually dealt with it better than I would have a few years ago. Though I may have complained, I have found I almost do it out of expectation. Since it's the feeling of the majority, I jump on board and complain a little. But I have had long, hard conversations with myself about it. I've decided this is a good thing for me. It's something so out of my control that I've had to totally rethink my spring plans and goals. I was very annoyed at first but when I really sat back and took it in, I realized I've been doing the same thing for several years and it hasn't gone how I'd planned by summer.
So, I'm going to take this huge inconvenience and work with it to see if I have a better outcome. It's definitely what's keeping me motivated and positive (with some brief negative meltdowns 😁) through this extended winter. Think of this snow as a test. Are you passing or failing? 🤔 Is it winning or are you? 😁
