Believe it or not, we’re winding down on the remaining
weeks of winter, and in these parts, it hasn’t been that cold. Oh sure, the
polar vortex visited, but only for a day or two. In fact, the last time it blew
through those of us who like to take a dip in the ocean on a cold winter day
did so. And, that amazes me because I get chilled during a summer breeze, so I
can’t imagine doing the Polar Bear Plunge. Although this winter dip usually
raises money for charity, it sounds like torture to me. Last week when they
took the Plunge, I heard the barely bearable cold required that extra emergency
staff be on hand. That’s one way to experience total body frostbite. Weird
things happen in the cold. Like this:
Unexpected storms stop people in their tracks. We had a moderate
squall blow through last week, and I ended up cancelling my travel plans. It’s
one thing to prepare when you know a storm is coming, but it’s another thing to
get caught right in the middle of one without forewarning or protection. The
storms of life come in all shapes and sizes, with some lasting longer than others,
but eventually, we get through them. What kind of “spring” (benefit) have you experienced
on the other side of your biggest storm?
