Out Of My Head

I don’t know … is everyone as tired of winter as I am? Living in Minnesota in the winter is pretty trying at times … trying to stay warm, trying to get through the snow, trying to keep up with the electric and gas bills, trying NOT to get cabin fever … I’ve had almost no luck with any of those things this winter and I’m pretty ready for Spring.

Well, unfortunately, Spring is not ready for us. Another round of winter storm watches and warnings are on the horizon for the next few days and it’s going to be downright cold on Wednesday. More like January than March.  But I’m holding onto the hope that it’s going to be much warmer for this weekend … it’s got to turn soon. The Ides of March are approaching and I’m thinkin’ that’s a good day for all the snow to be gone. Probably won’t happen but it’s still a good day for the snow to be gone …

Since I grew up on a farm in North Dakota, I can say with some authority that Minnesota winters, no matter how bad they are, cannot compare with a brutal winter in North Dakota. I lived there as a child and even for quite a few years into my adulthood … not leaving until my own children had grown up and moved out. I remember the last winter I was there the wind seemed to be blowing nonstop for weeks at a time; combined with the minus 35 degree temperatures, the windchill was constantly at 60 below and often colder. One morning I woke up and there was no wind! I remember listening to the weatherman on the local TV station; he said it is 35 below but there is NO WIND. I thought to myself, “This is going to be a very nice day.” My next thought was, “There’s something wrong with my life.” I think it was that very moment that I decided I was going to leave North Dakota and live somewhere without that much snow and cold. About six months later, I moved to Louisville Kentucky and began living what turned out to be some of the best years of my life. Ultimately, a few years later, I accepted a job in Minnesota so I’m back in the snow … but someday I’m going to move back south to live closer to my beloved adopted home, Kentucky. (I’m manifesting that life at we speak.)

So how are things where you are? Are you where you want to be? If you’re sure you’d be happier somewhere else, you should make the decision to get there as soon as possible. If you can’t do it right now, set a timetable, set a goal, feel how wonderful it will be to live in that city or state or country. You can make it happen … there are endless possibilities everywhere in our lives. You just need to see them and feel them and know that this new life will by yours!
