The Calming Snow Effect

I love the snow.

There, I said it.

I love how it makes everything feel magical. Like when you wake up on Christmas morning and realize it’s going to be a “white one.” Or when you are a kid and you have the day off because it snowed and now you can sled and make snowmen and snow angels.

Watching it fall relaxes me and now since I am find it hard to focus on anything, I need a little extra help.

It’s to the point that I will be get up to do something and I will have to sit back down because I have no idea why I got up in the first place. That happens to me all the time.

Each day, I try to make a small to-do list with at least three things I want to complete before I go to bed. It can be anything from house chores, to writing for this blog, or completing something that I have put off for far too long, but even that is becoming a task. It seems like I just can’t keep things together and actually remember the list by time I get home.

Typically, I write everything in an agenda, but I haven’t bought a new one yet. I know most people store their notes and reminders in their phone, but I will be honest, I only use mine for internet, talk and text. Plus, I am a bit old-fashioned in that way. I have learned that I literally have to write it down in order to internalize it even if it is on the back of a bus schedule or receipt.

I am usually really good at remembering things and focusing that is why this new case of scattered brains is so surprising to me.

So even though I know my walk to the bus stop is going to be horrible. I know I might have to walk in the street because most of the homeowners along my route didn’t shovel their sidewalks, I will take that if it will give me this calming effect.
