I have found the happier I am the less pain I have. While it is not always easy to be happy or find a reason to laugh, I make it a point to find at least one reason every day to have a good belly laugh. These are usually provided by one of our fur kids or Big Dawg.
I think it was last Saturday we had about 2 inches of snow on the ground, and it was still flurrying I went outside and made a snow angel. The last two years when we had snow it was too dang cold to go out to do anything more than shovel or take our fur kids out to use the bathroom so as much as I wanted too no snow angels got made. I put a challenge on my personal Facebook page for other “grown-ups” top let their inner child out, make a snow angel or snowman/woman and post the picture as a comment. Guess what? I didn’t get one person to take up the challenge. Here in the northern hemisphere winter officially is still 21 days away but it doesn’t mean we won’t get snow unless you live someplace that it stays to warm all year long to get any. So, I challenge each of you to make a snow man/woman/angel or whatever send a picture of it to ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com and I will do a special post of all our pictures and continue updating until there’s no more snow on the ground to make something. Pictures from actual children will be accept to. Even better a grown-up and child’s creation will get top spots in the post.
Here in New Mexico, we don’t get snow that sticks long enough to make wonderful snow people or angels. Last time we had that much snow was 2007! We get flakes of snow, and some can be as large as small birds, but it melts right away. Not complaining!
Our coldest time of year is now- nights just below freezing, days in the 40° range. Most of our winters are 50- 60°. Sorry I can’t indulge in your challenge, but I am looking forward to seeing pictures of everyone’s fun!
Our fun is mostly indoors, now. We have Christmas lights and a night parade the first Friday of December for those with transportation to get to such events. Some families choose to walk many miles to a traditional sacred site. Not much to see, but a deeply spiritual, cultural event.
