No snow yet. it's the warmest Fall we have experienced here in Canada. Don't know whether I'm sad about it though. It means that we don't have to climb the mountain of discarded layers of clothing at the front door. It also means that I'm not getting the white stuff down my neck when I, in my desperate hurry, am feverishly shoveling it over my shoulder to get the driveway clear in the morning.
Instead, the kids are still outdoors...not that the snow would stop them, but we can recognize them without the aforementioned layers and they are still playing basketball and skate-boarding. Just try that in the snow.
I will always have the niggle in the back of my mind when work seems to be slow and with one eye on the finances, it can be tough during this time of buying excess (Christmas), but this is going to be the best Christmas ever!! I just want to appreciate my circumstance and the people around me a little more. One thing about life is the stress is a really brutal burglar. It's scary how worrying about something completely absorbs your focus, and leads into a lifelong habit pattern of focusing just on that. Before you know it, you've lost years of appreciating friends, family, and other great stuff that happens all the time.
