UGHH! Seriously?! Winter I love you, but it is time to go!In case you have the good fortune to live in a warm and beautiful climate you may have missed that this has been one of the snowiest winters in a long time. I think we have been a bit spoiled in winters past. I remember as a child making igloos, snowmen, and entire villages in snow. It seemed winters were always covered in white powder and icicles-of course that was in Massachusetts and Upstate NY. Then there were winters in NYC in which I had to climb snowbanks to get to work. There was one day in particular when I was working at the Metropolitan Museum and needed to actually scale a snow bank on 5th avenue to get into the building. My
point here is, snow is not new to NYC so why do
we act like it is. People are going into hiding, calling in sick, and claiming it is too difficult to leave their house. OK so maybe I'm playing the "when I was little" Grandpa card, but really!? It's just snow. It's wet, it's icy, and it may take more time to get around, but it's just snow.
I think I also am a bit grumpy this morning because the thing about snow is it is a bit inconvenient, which for NYC and cause all kinds of issues. This is a city that works and moves, and gets anxious when locked up for too long. Perhaps I'm feeling the anxiety of the city. I am going to try my best to relax and enjoy this, hopefully last, snowfall. I'm trying my best to practice turning a negative into a positive.
