"Oh, the weather outside is frightening..."

Winter has most of us caught with a vengeance.  We rush from the house into work or the store, cheeks stinging, toes frozen.  It is so beautiful and harsh.  If we are lucky, we have a warm place to go and thaw out.  If we're not, there are shelters, but maybe not enough.  My suggestion is to be grateful for what we have, maybe plan a spring (?) garden, for spring must surely come. In the meantime, find a way to help those who do not have what we do.  Give a blanket, a coat, or a donation to a local shelter.  Make a ripple, think of them, see what happens.
