A Blizzard is a Bunch of Flakes with a Lot of Wind

A Blizzard is a snow storm with excessive high winds and drifting snow that reduces visibility. A Blizzard lasts a long time.

Ever had a blizzard happen to you, in life? I have. You probably have, too. Ever had a job that threw you into a tailspin? Or gone through a difficult divorce?



Sometimes, no matter which way we turn, we're blinded by emotion and can't see our way out. Sometimes, people around us just don't seem reasonable. They blow hard and bring chaos and pain.


When these life blizzards occur, it's important to remember that weather eventually changes and that weather differs by locale.


Life is circumstantial.


You can wait for the weather to change where you are. You can put your snow boots on and goggles and your fur coat. You can tether yourself to a sturdy rail to trudge through the blizzard head on. Or, you can go to a sunny spot in a different milieu where you will be involved with people more suited to this time in your life. You can flourish along a different path, in activities that bring reward. You can give yourself a lighter load.


We don't forget where we've been, and we can return to the place where we used to be. Some things will have changed. You will have changed. Most probably, the weather has changed, and, if not, the sun will be shining  elsewhere.
