Let it Snow…

Winter brings a lot of unpredictability. While many of us weathered one of the country’s biggest snow storm in a long time, and we anticipated that it was coming, it was hard to know what parts of everyday life will continue. Will there be school? Will there be practice? Can I see my friends? Are the roads passable? Can I keep appointments? Will I have power? While the technology has provided alternatives to be physically present in some cases, it doesn’t solve all circumstances in limbo. Unpredictability is often what fuels anxiety. What cannot be controlled. What cannot be prevented. Sometimes it is Mother Nature who reminds us to accept what we cannot control and manage what you can. For what you can control, be grateful. What you cannot control, give yourself grace. And breathe. Spring always comes back.
