Take a Blizzard Day!

There's a blizzard in New Jersey this morning.  The shopping centers were packed last night with people scrambling to buy milk, bread, eggs - everything they could possibly need in case they were stuck in their homes for a while.  But this morning it's quiet.  There is not a car on the road.

Normally, most people are pulled in so many directions with an overwhelming amount of responsibilities.  But today you can't get errands done, you can't go to work, you can't really do anything.  This gives us a rare chance to do the things that we can't do very often.  Relax, take a nap, talk to family, breathe, play a game, bake cookies, have tea, read.  Take advantage of the blizzard - be in the moment and appreciate the moment.

If you are in another part of the country where there isn't a blizzard, take a blizzard day!  We all need those days where we get nothing accomplished because it is what helps us to be effective during the rest of the days.  Don't feel guilty or pressure to get something done.  Recognize that you deserve it, we all do.  If you can't take the whole day, a part of the day will do.  Don't wait for a blizzard, they don't come very often.  Take a blizzard day today!
