humbug

I think i might be headed for another cranky week. I thought it would be averted this morning by the presence of beautiful falling snow, and accumulation on the ground. The current state of reverting to Seattle may ruin this, though, because i doubt there will even be enough to take the girl sledding. *sigh*

Phooey.


In other news, i am calling Envy my current toxic-emotion of choice. I will be spending the week getting rid of envy. Good week for it, what with the focus on being Thankful, and all.

The little hill in the park by our house has got sleds all over it! Even a Flexible Flyer was going surprisingly well.

We had a brief outing at Greenlake, but i need a better solution for William tomorrow. I was hoping to be able to use Caroline as a run so i could take Madeleine while William napped, but the snow has been insufficient on the roads. We shall see if tomorrow is better.

Looks better (for "snowier" values of "better") here, anyway.

If it helps any, I envy you a lot!

Seriously... it helps me to help others who are worse off when I'm all in my "poor me" phase. Volunteering at a community meals program and Meals on Wheels did it often while I lived in Davis. Harvesters was the place in KC... haven't really found an easy-to-get-to and kid-friendly one here yet, though.

Maybe I should check out Meals on Wheels here...

Envy seems particularly toxic to me because it tries to negate all that is right with my world - and there is a LOT right with my world. I'm probably the luckiest girl on earth.

It also seems toxic because it is hard to be both envious and purely happy for the object of your envy. I'm not in a position to volunteer in the manner you speak of at the moment, but i am in a position to focus on how deeply happy when someone around me finds joy, too.
