Snow, cold and a good book

| SNOW, SHOW and more SNOW
I like winter just fine for the most part. I like the crisp air, the leafless trees. I like seeing people having fun with their winter activities. I have even gone camping for the weekend in the winter when I was a kid. I had more fun then I thought I could.
What I don't like is walking to work in the snow and extreme cold. Those -35 c days make me want to curl up inside with good book. I don't want to leave the house at all. I am amazed that I still think that way considering I love my job. I love coming to work and spending time with my business partners. Creating new ways to support local artist, musicians and authors. Helping save the little shop around the corner.
At the moment I am reading a new book by Catherine Thompson. The Prize of Learning Love is the story about Senator Margaret Fawcett Norrie. She was an amazing woman! She did it all in a time when woman were still expected to stay home and care for the kids. She was the first in her family to go to University. She taught biology at Mount Allison University and she was the Dean of Woman. She played on the woman's basketball team at Mount A. All this before 1940. She married J.P. Norrie and raise 4 kids and was step-mother to 4 more. She believed it was our responsibility to help people out. If they needed food, she gave it to them. If they needed a place to stay, she provided a place for them. If they needed a job, she gave them a job. When they needed someone to stand up in Politics for Atlantic Canada, Margaret decided she would do the best she could. I think we all need to read Senator Norrie's story. It gives us all hope that one person can do great things. She was one person and she did great things.

| Greetings and salutations, my lovelies. I'll skip right to the punch of this entry- I've never written one before. All jokes full ahead. Its completely insane to have found a 17 year old who has never used a blog-space entry thing before. I live under a rock perhaps? Or maybe, I just dislike the stereotype attached. (we ALL know the my-space is tagged for the emo kids....) But, that aside I'd like to plunge in ahead. I'm seeing a great future in this site, and I plan on keeping on the 'in' with what happens. Perhaps one day it will raise to the heights of DeviantArt, YouTube, Live Journal and so many more. A toast, to the future! |
