This past weekend we were supposed to have a snow storm here in Ohio. So, to prepare myself for this weather, I...
✔ went grocery shopping
✔ picked up movies from my local library
✔ had my books to be read on a pile by the couch
✔made sure I had some kind of chocolate in the house
But the snow storm never really came. It snowed. And it was pretty but it wasn't a storm. So the possibility of "snow days" was clearly out the window. However, I was in a relax mindset. Snow days usually do that to me. I love the fact that in snow days our world here in the States slows down. I know we all look at snow days differently. Some people like to make it a productive day and get things done. Some others like me like to pause, not chase time, and just be present so I can enjoy the quietness of it all.

Thank you Two Writing Teachers team for the invitation to take a sweet, slow bite of life by inviting us to write every day in the month of March.

I love the slowness and relaxation of snow days! We got one today, and I'm using it to read, blog, and grade papers. Thanks for the book recommendation!
By the way, I just looked at the book cover enlarged so I could add it to Goodreads, and I see that Ann Voskamp wrote the forward. I just finished her One Thousand Gifts!
I love that you took yesterday to refresh and renew. Slowing time down is not just a great writing strategy, it is a wonderful life strategy! The crepes look amazing.
