Confronting Old Man Winter

The sun is streaming through my windows (even tho covered with plastic) and warming my heart as well as my cottage!  What a delightful prospect to be closed in for at least a day and a night alone with my thoughts.  Such freedom is very difficult to come by, particularly on a Tuesday, not Sunday.  Or, Wednesday, which is normally my day of isolation (except for yoga in the evening).  My only chore today is to continue putting plastic over windows.  Now, I've got a rhythm going and much easier way to handle it - so good I should be able to save the plastic for each window and just slap it back up again next winter!  Fortunately Lowe's was out of the little kits of clear plastic and I bought a huge roll of translucent thick stuff that is much easier to work with.  Simply cut to fit, masking tape along the edges and slap it up!  Not supposed to get beyond freezing before tomorrow afternoon, so I'll take my breaks and do another window as time goes by. But mostly?  Mostly I'll bake some sweet potatoes and heat up my lentil/quinoa soup, bake some cornbread muffins and sit.  Sitting is my main thing today.  Remember my primary teaching mantra?  The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.  And my main thing today is to connect with Spirit in all my activities - even putting up plastic outsmarting Old Man Winter.
