Back at it!

Well, this week was that first week back at normal life from the holidays. I found that I truly missed some of those things that I wasn't able to do during the break. It just makes me think of "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone." This week was just full of getting use to being back and all of the activities and events that are included in that. An event I didn't plan on however happened Tuesday morning. I looked out the window and saw the vast amounts of fluffy snow accumulated on the ground. It was lightly snowing and it looked nice. I walked down to my car and proceeded to scrape off the many inches of snow that were covering my car. It was so light and fluffy that I didn't take a second thought about the snow as I got in my car and put it into reverse. This is where the problem began...I wasn't going anywhere! I couldn't pull forward because there was a car in front of me, so I did the only thing that I could think of...push in the clutch, put it in neutral and get out and push the car out of the snow that was covering the tires. After a while of pushing I saw another brave soul out in the early morning in my parking lot, and asked her if she could help me push out my car the rest of the way. Thankfully we pushed it out and I was on my way. Luckily the week ended a little less dramatic by going out to dinner with some friends...and so continues being back at it in the simple journey of life.
