I enjoyed your beautiful words about snow. It only snows for about 10 minutes every year where I live. Thanks Kate!

Thank you, Conny! We're getting less and less snow each year, but there is still quite a bit here. Even when I'm in a miserable place, I hope I will never take it for granted.

I love that haiku. Your posts make the world better. And I, too, want to meet that dog.

"snow is not a job" this is such a great point. i was thinking the other day about what we're all aiming for-- a perfectly optimised day? where we'll wake up and feel everything perfectly? it's never going to happen and it does become a job at that point. i'm so tired of the endless striving!

Yes!!!! So many layers of excess and pointless suffering layered over the very real difficulties we already have.
