Besides my resolution list below, Le Mari and I have decided to take a daily half hour walk to get some fresh air in our lungs and a little bit of exercise. I haven't been running very much lately and he hurt his back recently, keeping him from the gym. I think this will do a world of good for both of us.
Last night we decided to go for our walk and it started to snow. It was beautiful. We walked up through a nearby housing development where there were virtually no cars and we could meander freely. The massive wet flakes were magical and there is an empowerment that comes with being able to walk down the middle of the street without cars zooming past. The holiday lights still twinkled from the massive homes' windows and trees. The air was cool and brisk but not unbearable with a hat and scarf. We were children, catching snowflakes on our tongue and skipping into the night- well, maybe I was the only one skipping! It was an evening that made me remember why I moved to the boonies in the first place.
