Bustling streets despite
Blustery winds
Busy people
Bemoaning the snow
But the weather doesn’t deter
Braving pelting ice
Behemoth buildings
By the dozens they enter
Buttons unfasten
Big scarfs tossed
Boardrooms fill with weather talk
Bored by noon
Brushing thumbs across phones
Booming news:
Blizzard conditions!
Brace for imminent accumulation
Blinds burst open
Big flakes revealed
Blaring email dings
Bequeathing worried workers early leave
Beat the worst still to come
Back at home safely
Banned from further travel
But those blankets of sparkle…
Beautiful through the windows
❄️
Thinking of many NYC, Philadelphia and New Jersey areas under a travel ban, I wrote this last night. I was inspired by my brother-in-law who takes the subway into Manhattan every morning, refusing to stay home – even in blizzard conditions!
Here it’s been busy and a struggle to carve out space for blogging. The only time I’m still is between 1am-7am the last few weeks😴💤. I continue working to get settled in the new home/state and establish a routine. Extra difficult when flying back and forth between TX and NY more often than originally expected. Eventually, things will smooth out!
Thank you for reading and I wish you a safe and good week ahead.❄️🩵
