I know some of you have as well. It has been a challenge with the daily shoveling, snow blowing , and difficulty driving. The mounds of snow are so big that is it hard to determine if the coast is clear to pull out into traffic. I must say it does stress me out a bit. On the other hand, the snow is so beautiful and sparkly, and I enjoy looking at it when I am safely at home. I think Duncan is having fun too, although he seems a bit confused at times with all the snow!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs2sTX5T5siwyXbfDlKcL62UrhgsCip5Ipl_DhaeSPoTEbPeitPt8DTw7BE8tmQjuNTog2qXYcNuREbkjPYTXJr1pRKTZxGOrWF9edFcISF_t753nQ2F_qIFIrIR5MgJhzBgLpDLhvCgQ/s4032/20210215_190906.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

No one in New England had ever heard of that team until OUR Tom Brady signed with them. I don't think he needs any introduction, though I would like to remind you all that he's a MICHIGAN guy. Not to play favorites but we, all of New England and all of the UMich fans, are cheering for him and his new team. Did I mention that his buddy Gronk came out of "retirement" so they could play together again? Also too, our TB12 is 43 years old.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFNwRy1u7VsdO9ZfZenMRq1_1BaE-lxybjkcRIfLx6Hex2MsN4ukeEXUEYvglbg77ju9hB7QL5hi2fbb6wHR81A6-IhdvHF51HjH36Y1oRVUEEisvEKm4y8tnxffJVVbk69IfYtaqlndBV/s300/download-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFNwRy1u7VsdO9ZfZenMRq1_1BaE-lxybjkcRIfLx6Hex2MsN4ukeEXUEYvglbg77ju9hB7QL5hi2fbb6wHR81A6-IhdvHF51HjH36Y1oRVUEEisvEKm4y8tnxffJVVbk69IfYtaqlndBV/w427-h239/download-1.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><p>All joking aside, this will be a fun game because it's a fantastic match up and should be close game.

It was more difficult than I imagined. The events of the last week, when we are already trying to deal with the pandemic are almost overwhelming. I sometimes wonder if it is possible to find moments of peace and even joy when the world around us is in such disarray? If you are like me, it can become all too easy to get sucked into the abyss- reading every terrible detail, watching and rewatching the horror of what is happening, and becoming almost overcome with fear and anxiety. </p><p>A few years ago I was lucky to find the most wonderful therapist named Jan. She helped me through a really tough time in my life. Here are some of the strategies that have helped me. </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Be Good to Yourself. </span></p><p>At the end of every session she would give me one beautiful rose as a reminder that it is okay to find the things in life that make us happy. Even when life seems difficult it is okay to find moments of happiness. A bubble bath, candles, football, our gardens, writing our stories, a walk in the park- whatever works for you. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAJWUDHzO43UMnIk7-h-ce6w6qxxC0MG0Tv3eqrWWslzHuSEsXOz9LTyLR49QLeSsYscNFhvrXZoHN6twiAhszIsHZZJqai4zggWLEXmAjH3sAMA9og5Eau4W-A_WXxs2AqyzEkBe0p_M/s247/Screen+Shot+2021-01-11+at+12.16.24+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="181" data-original-width="247" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAJWUDHzO43UMnIk7-h-ce6w6qxxC0MG0Tv3eqrWWslzHuSEsXOz9LTyLR49QLeSsYscNFhvrXZoHN6twiAhszIsHZZJqai4zggWLEXmAjH3sAMA9og5Eau4W-A_WXxs2AqyzEkBe0p_M/w382-h280/Screen+Shot+2021-01-11+at+12.16.24+PM.png" width="382" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Find Your Special Place</span></p><p>When your whole body is reacting to fear or sorrow or stress, close your eyes and picture yourself in a place that brings you comfort.

Roxie and Q are good at sharing posts that bring us moments of happiness. Those beautiful photographs of Cape Cod, the delicious goodies, the laughs. And the sense of community we have here on WTIOC. A place where we can share our fears and our sadness, a place where we can be heard, and a place where it is also okay to be happy. Even when the world around us is in a mess.

He carried all the pieces upstairs to the attic and put it back together again. Then he bought a new net, new balls and new paddles. We have played nearly every day since then. It has kept us sane. Some days we laugh ourselves silly. </p><p>Sometimes Little Mo plops himself down in the middle of the table and we just play over him.
