Winter wonderland...

Thought for today - "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will." Vincent T. Lombardi




Wow, it's February already! I have the feeling that 2007 is going to move along just as quickly as 2006 did. In a way, that's good, as I'm really ready for spring to be here. Did the ground hog see his shadow? Winter is still here and getting ready to dump another load of white wonder on us.


Living in Canada, especially central Canada, during the winter is not for the faint of heart. Getting up in the morning to -25 C temperatures, piles of snow, and kids that just don't want to leave the warmth of their beds takes tons of focus, determination, and sheer willpower (not to mention, hot coffee!).

Yet, there is something magical about new fallen snow. White, fresh, unmarked, full of potential - will it be a snowman, snow fort, snow balls - so much potential. Just like starting a new story is full of so much potential.

This is the view from my office window as I ponder the potential of the day.

Carpe diem,
Kellie
