The snow is cold and
unforgiving but falling down in it face first in it after a bender all night
can be a wake-up call. Sometimes it takes a tumble down the staircase to make
us realize there are steps. Life can be a slap in the face, a punch in the
stomach, a kick in the shins, but we keep putting one foot in front of the
other and keep going. Unfortunately, it’s not always a walk in the park, an ice
cream on a hot evening, or a cup of hot cocoa on a frosty night. It can be a
dog chasing us, ice cream dropped on the sidewalk, or burning the roof of our
mouth. It’s all about yin and yang and rolling with the punches.
