Snow Day, February 25

The snow fell, the wind blew, the snow fell at a heavier rate, the wind blew even harder.  By the end of the day, we had over a foot of snow on the ground!   Some spots in our backyard have drifts over three feet deep! 

The neighborhood

Snowy wind chimes

The dog in deep snow!

Walking in a winter snow globe!

And.....the snow plow finally came after we had a foot of snow on the ground!  

Question

This is a question for research for my class.  I would love to hear your answer, if you are a woman.


What is one specific obstacle/struggle/challenge you face as a women?


You can make your post anonymous if you are more comfortable with that, I don't need to know who you are.  Thank you!!

Thought Pre-Valentine's Day

Thought on this day before Valentine's day....


How much better would our relationships be if we were constantly trying to outlove one another, constantly trying to outgive each other, and really seeking to prefer one another above ourselves?”  ~Rebecca St. James

Ahh, Fresh Air

It was amazing, I got outside for several hours today!  I finished up the first section of my online class about 1 a.m. When I woke up a few hours later, I decided I had spent enough time inside this week!  I could have started the next section of my class, which officially begins on Monday, but I needed to have some fresh air, sunshine, and know that the world outside my house still existed.  The past week has been especially challenging, since it required a lot of extra work, to finish up the first section.  I am sleep deprived, but feel a sense of accomplishment.  I don't have all my grades for the first section, yet, but have done well with the grades I do have, much better than I expected!  The next session looks much more involved and challenging, so I have a feeling it's going to be many more hours in front of the computer.  I just need to be able to take my iMac out on the front porch, sit in the sun and listen to the instructors, and I would be much more content!  I am not someone used to staying in the house, or not being out doing things.  Being inside these four walls started to get to me this week.  I took a break a couple days ago, walked outside, and took a deep breath and it felt amazing!  I have learned that for this next session, I need some balance, inside time, and outside time, time breathing fresh air, taking in God's creation,  and taking pictures.  Now that I have a better grip on what this looks like to take online classes, I hope to have better time management skills and not be in front of the computer all the time.
