The Snowy Day & the blues...

Hi Everyone,
How are you?

Can I tell you something? I am having a blue day. It's getting better now, I went for a walk and had a good talk with friend so that helped.

I was trying to figure out how I got to this place. It was a lot of things accumulating and then today it burst open with lots of tears and (if I am honest) some yelling.

Like I said the walk helped. I took lots of photos and made you a video. I like sharing so that helps.

I do this weird thing when I am sad. I don't even really realize it, it's almost subconcious. It is this sound. I call it "wounded kitty".  It's this sad sort of meow. And it comes out without me even realizing it. It's like a sigh but this "meeoooowwwwwww"  but there's more of a "muuurrrooowwww" sound.

Well like I said, feeling a bit better. Made some comfort food and we are all snuggled in while the snow falls outside.




Saw the tree on my walk. Heavy wet snow is hard on big trees. My friend in the valley has no power. So grateful we do.



Missed my class yesterday so maybe that's why I was feeling disappointed.



Really wanted to go to this...partly why I was sad.



Here's some photos from my walk that I took to cheer myself up.

Saw this post this morning and found it very appropriate for today.



I am sure that all the bad energy in the world right now has a lot to do with how I feel. I sure like this cartoon. Art is so great for expressing oneself and waking up others.









I like Benjamin's post, helps me get perspective!




I hope you are well and have a happy day!

What do you do when you get blue?

Are you highly sensitive. I know I am. Good to understand why you feel and act as you do.

I watched these videos this morning. I found them helpful.
I hope you do too!







Well we need some happiness, here's a little song that might help!

Snow on Vancouver Mountains

WOW! I LOVE MY CAMERA THAT I WON FROM CANON!!
Check out these photos. I can actually see the skiers on Grouse Mountain!!(I think it's Grouse, sorry not a skier and don't know my mountains that well.) Amazing!  I just love the Zoom. This is with out tripod too, although I did steady it on my friends shoulder.

The mountains are BEAUTIFUL!

Alerts for: Metro Vancouver

Statements

5:19 AM PST Sunday 22 November 2015
Special weather statement in effect for:

• Metro Vancouver

Arctic air and possible difficult travel conditions by early Tuesday.
The first Arctic outbreak of the season will bring Arctic air and possible difficult travel conditions to the South Coast of British Columbia late Monday night and early Tuesday. However, Whistler will likely receive at least 15 cm of snow tonight through Monday before the Arctic air arrives. Snowfall warnings may be required here.

The Arctic air will arrive from the east, spilling out the coastal inlets and valleys first, spreading west toward Vancouver Island on Tuesday. As the leading edge of the coldest air of the season arrives, bursts of snowflurries may rapidly reduce visibility. Local snowfalls of a few centimetres are possible as the Arctic air arrives.  

Windchill equivalent temperatures between -10 and -15c are likely in areas exposed to outflow winds for Tuesday night.

After the Arctic arrival, the South Coast will settle into an extended period (4-6 days) of chilly but otherwise weather-less winter days.

The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended.

Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weather.gc.ca.

OMG what an incredible skier and video!!! How awesome!! I'm missing Nelson so bad after seeing this.



Angel and I definitely have to get back for a winter sometime.  She adores the snow. Me, well sometimes not so much but I have a lot of GREAT memories from Nelson.

We had a ton of fun playing in the snow and going for walks looking for icicles and building snow forts.

Not sure you guys know but we lived in Nelson 2x, once for 6 months when Angel was a baby. That's right I had a little baby honeymoon with her there. Just me and her. It was really special. And then again for 15 months when she was 4 and 5.

It wasn't always good times, as it was during this time my mom passed away. Looking back though I think it was the best place to be to grieve. Shoveling tons of snow helped burn off tons of negative energy and sadness.

Long long long walks up that hill from the mall to Rosemont, pushing the buggy with a kid and packed full of groceries, made me super strong and fit and helped me deal with all the nasty things in life that was being thrown at me during that time.

We were blessed with 2 lovely Christmases. People were so kind and generous with us. Definitely felt loved. I sure miss those winter forest walks.

Huge contrast in weather to right now Nelson to Zipolite, but the spirit is very similar in many ways ;) , seeing this video flooded my mind and eyes with memories. Amazing video. Sooooo Cooooooooooooooooooooool! Really loved it

Loved the sparks flying off the skiis. I'll show Angel when she wakes up.

Yep, definitely have to get back someday soon.

Miss you Nelson. Hey Rossland too! and Castlegar... I've lived and visited both as well.

I Love You!! Very cool towns. Very cool people. Take care and  


Wishing you all a Wonderful Christmas and Prosperous New Years. Happy Solistice and Beginning of a New Era! : D
Besos y Abrazos, Paz y Amor de Zipolite, Mexico :D
