We had a blessed Christmas with family, food, gifts and company all around. It was a wonderful occasion.
Today, I was driving the shuttle and noticed a man out jogging in subfreezing weather, The hardiness of Minnesotans never ceases to amaze me. Winter, ice, cold, sleet and wind are just conditions that they adapt to, learn to handle and even enjoy.
This upbeat adaptability is exactly the approach to life anywhere that need to be adopted and honed. With a feisty, cheerful, can-do attitude, a blizzard is not a burden; it is a chance to enjoy winter sports, to run the fireplace and watch movies, to read a good book, or write a paragraph of philosophy.
Winter is no problem--it is just another kind of opportunity.
