As well over half of January has past, wait where did the time go?, I am just really coming up for air to start following the new business plan which I have laid out for myself.
We received a beautiful layer of snow this weekend here in the Western North Carolina Mountains. I enjoyed waking up to see the ground covered and then watching more fall during the daytime. Sadly, I watched from the safety, security, and warmth of my home fearing to go out in unsure footing situations. (Remember in 2020, when I could see my feet and what happened??) I lived vicariously by other people’s IG and FB posts of their adventures in the snow.
Welcome, 2022, what do you have in store for us?
