Get to Work!

I love winter. My favorite season without questions. When spring creeps in I am usually a bit depressed for a few weeks. When Anchorage got hit with snow fall upon snow fall last week I gleefully shoveled and hoped more was on it's way.

Here's the problem. I just want to play in it and I have work to do! Every day I tell myself that this is the day I am going to buckle down but then the sun comes out and next thing I know my skis are in the car and I am headed to the trails. Yesterday I decided I really needed to smoke up some fish. A great excuse to be out in the glistening snow. I shoveled, I frolicked, I found all sorts of reasons to be outside.

My 'to-do' list is relentless. The messages of unanswered calls build, my e-mail box is full...what is wrong with everyone? Don't you see this wonder out your window? Doesn't it take your breath away with it's peaceful blanket of white?

I took a bike ride this morning and absorbed the crisp serenity that only winter brings. I decided to just get it out of my system early. So TODAY I will be focused and accomplish creative things. Right after I put out the winter bird feeder.
