My new snowboots

I've been wanting to take Jayda sledding ever since it started snowing. It's been tough to do because of our funky schedules, but I am determined. Anyway, I went to buy Jayda some snowboots, and got myself some while I was at it. Tonight as we were loading up to go to my parent's house I packed up all of Jayda's gear as well as my own intending to play in the snow. By the time we got to the house, Jayda was in no condition to play, not to mention it was already getting dark. So instead, I did something so out of character. I laced up my snowboots, got as bundles as I could and went out walking by myself, in the freezing cold. It was honestly the most cleansing and refreshing half hour of my life. I could have walked so much longer had I not lost feeling in my face. There was something about being in the dark, cold silence that made me realize how LOUD and INTENSE my life is, pretty much every second I'm awake. Even when I do get some time to myself, it's usually filled with music from the radio, or sounds from the TV while I work as hard as I can to get my chores done. I rarely have time, to be alone, and just enjoy the quiet. Tonight I was able to. It was beautiful. I didn't even really think about anything, I just walked, and listened to nothing. I'm going to be doing that much more often, I just might live a little longer if I do.
