It’s upon us once again– the season of snow, slush and socks trapped in the toes of your sorrels (those are boots for you non Midwesterners.)
At first it’s invigorating to experience this snowy season. Sledding, ice-skating, hot cocoa, Advent and the reminder that with the white blankets of pure snow we have a chance to see creative Creator in every part of the season.
But after the Christmas lights are down, the hot cocoa runs dry and the slushy shoveling turns to daily drudgery, how do we keep the fun, joy and the fitness going strong throughout winter? Joy can be a source of strength for us and what better time to be strong then when we are shoveling and snow blowing? Winter work is a workout, so here are a few tips on keeping our bodies strong as we go through this season.
