It's a blizzard out there!Time is limited this time of year, you have better things to do than read emails all day, so let me be brief. We tend to look at snow days as days to catch up on work and we don't take the time savor the "gift" we've been given. I've included some ideas that will help you take advantage of the free day. If you must do work, try to set some limits around it and make sure you get some time to enjoy the extra time you've been given.
Here are some ideas:
Curl up on the couch with a good book and cup of hot cocoa.- Put together jigsaw puzzles with the kids.
- Commiserate with your neighbors as you're cleaning off sidewalks and driveways.
- Initiate a neighborhood snowball fight or snowman making followed by hot cocoa at your house.
- Plan your spring break activities.
- Have a movie marathon.
- Ski down the middle of your street.
- Cook "stone soup" using whatever you have in your cupboards and 'frig.
- Tell stories about storms of the past
- It's a "free" day, do whatever you want!!
PS: If you do not experience snow days and you are in a warm sunny climate.....never mind.
This is your life……make every day a spa day!

Don't you just love these cold, windy, snowy days in Wisconsin? Snow blowing and shoveling while your face gets scraped raw by the wind? And your fingers become icicles?
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite time of year :-)
See, I knew you'd come around! Just finished shoveling myself....it's lovely!
