Well, December came in with a bang. Twelve-inches-plus of sticky snow, clinging so heavily to the trees that several large branches came down in our back yard, including one which landed on our cable and internet wires, causing them to be literally torn from our house (taking big chunks of siding with them).
But isn’t it lovely?

Yesterday I promised you some photos from my snowy morning walk. The snow is all gone now – it was just winter’s warning shot across the bow. Not that we can do anything to halt its progress. The cold, the dark, the icy ground that will make my morning walks treacherous – they are on their way, whether I like it or not. Which brings us to today’s election. I’ll be voting in person today. My one teeny bit of control over this incredible, messy process which is democracy. Once I’ve submitted my ballot and have returned home, there will be nothing for me to do but watch it unfold. The approaching winter and this crazy election – both opportunities for me to practice surrendering to something that is greater than me. I’m still the hummingbird – I will still try as hard as I can to do what is right and to influence others for good. But for my own peace of mind, I need to accept with grace the things in life that just happen, whether I want them to or not.
I wish you peace today, friend.
Love,
Michelle xoxo
