My favorite parts of today - the slurch noise the snow/ice makes, the sheer volume of movies I've been able to watch, and getting to spend so much time with my babylove. The joys of the snow are fantastic...but I'm getting restless.
It's day two of Snowpocalypse 2011 as it's being called (though I personally prefer Birthday Snowpocalypse). Today the snow has been solidly coated in ice so that normal fun snow activities aren't really as fun. That means more time inside. The restoration of yesterday is quickly becoming the restlessness of today. Too much of these four walls.
My energies are being sapped quickly. Not enough vitamin D I suppose. There's also the psychological component of feeling trapped. But primarily there's the spiritual component of sitting still and just being. I have a hard time not being busy. During the semester I always complain about being too busy but a week into summer I'm ready to run back to having to be a million places at once. Having to literally be within the same square mile for 48 hours and counting is forcing me to just sit and be, with myself, with my flaws, with God. I love this rest, but I've never been good at this level of sitting and being. I suppose in these days while I can't exercise my physical muscles, I can exercise my spiritual and emotional once. Time to practice being still.
