every year I dread this season but wind up finding joy and feeling energized by embracing the snow and cold. A few years ago I visited Lake Placid NY, a town that revolves around winter sports (and still has these amazing relics standing from the 1980 Winter Olympics). skiing, ice skating, sledding, hiking in the snow, or layering up and going on walks help get through the shorter and darker days. Itโs kind of amazing that rain turns into layers and layers of pure white, dampening sound and temporarily covering all the intricacies of the world. Itโs so quiet out there. And when you come back inside you appreciate your warm lil corner of the world even more.
