How to Train Your Blizzard

Yesterday was a lovely series of exercises in Do the Right Thing and Love It. Listening to Gregorian chants while scrubbing the bathtub, reading EatPrayLove/calling-loved-ones instead of watching stupid CW sitcoms, eating popcorn instead of cookies, taking steps 2 & 3 in my art project du jour, stretching & breathing. Everything EXCEPT doing homework.

In order for today to be successful, the yellow brick road of academic diligence must reveal itself to me - and soon! (My coffee table coasters mock my drive, "Live - Laugh - Love." Well, that's exactly what I would do if I were a coaster (?), BUT I HAPPEN TO BE A GRADUATE STUDENT thankyouverymuch.)

No, true, I think I need to loosen my grip on today. But not so loose that it turns into the lovely wintry bliss that was yesterday. Today = Productive (or else).

This blizzard beckons me to snowball fights and cozy games of Risk with neighbors. New York, I Love You downloaded on my laptop. Brownie baking projects. More apartment organization. Hours of EatPrayLove. Pilates DVD's. Why must the day be short? Or does my hours of Facebook frittering amputate the day's open arms? I will not! I will run into your embrace, Day! Take me as I am and let's make something beautiful and memorable together! Another cup of coffee? Sure!
