Winter

Winter is the quiet time, a time for reflection and planning. When the days begin to warm, I know that activity will increase and time will seem to flow faster and faster, hurtling toward the end of the year. This is my chance to get in a little extra rest, extra hugs with my loved ones, and maybe sneak in a little extra writing time. The silence of snowfalls, the long stretch of shadows, and the peacefulness of the season remind me to take a few moments every day to just be.
