Snow Day!

This weekend I spent some time in a cabin on Snoqualmie Pass.  It was amazing!  I loved how majestic the mountains looked capped with snow.  Driving along roads packed with snow 20 feet high was exciting and made me feel like a kid; I was in awe of what I was seeing.  Living in Seattle means that snow is a rare sight, but if you drive just 45 minutes away you can be in the mountains playing in fresh powder.

There are lots of activities to do in the snow.  Pick something that you and your spouse love- whether it be skiing, snowboarding, sledding, building a snowman, or cozying up next to the fireplace with a cup of cocoa.  And don’t forget to take the time to have a snowball fight!  Sometimes anger and frustration can build up and we need a healthy way of letting things go.  If you have stuff you’ve been holding onto and you are ready to forgive, toss a snowball to symbolize releasing the hurt feelings.  As the snowball hits the ground (or your partner if you have good aim) watch it dissipate and feel free from the things that were causing dissonance and contention in your relationship.  Take some time afterwards while you warm up to express love and appreciation for your spouse.
