The Polar Vortex got drunk again and has decided to repay us a visit, but this time the Polar Vortex brought friends, wind and snow to the party. Since my hubby joined his new firm we have been staying in Northern Virginia and according to the local weather people, Northern Virginia is going to get hammered all day today, I decided to take a picture of the developing snow storm. If you look closely, you can see the big flakes falling down to the ground in front of the cars, being from New York originally and then moving up to Massachusetts, I am very well versed in snow storm and this one doesn’t seem to be that bad so far, but it is only 12:44 p.m so I may be eating my words later on, you never know.

My hubby with his new position will be dividing his time between Northern Virginia, Boston, New York and where ever else potential leads may take him. So we are very excited by this newest change in our lives, I am not sure as to the logistics right now, but I am not scared of change, it can be nerve wracking and anxiety producing, but as long as I breathe slowly and deeply and remind myself that everything will be fine in the end and if it isn’t fine then it isn’t yet the end, I’ll be fine. My hubby is very excited, he sees all of the potential and the possibilities with this new firm and it makes me so happy to see him so enthusiastic with the firm, his boss and everyone else at the firm. This is a new and exciting chapter in our lives and I’ll be sharing our new adventures as usual.

How would you change the world?

• If you could wake up tomorrow and find that one thing had changed about the world, what would you have that one thing be?

• Change the World
• I would have it be a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It would be a two state solution based on the 1967 era borders and Jerusalem would be an international city for all religions. Many of our world wide tensions are a direct outgrowth of this unresolved Middle East conflict which hasn’t been successfully addressed since 1948. I am pretty sure that there would be many people who would agree with me.

Change you can perhaps hope or believe in?

• Make a list of things you’d like to change. Expand one or all of the point into a post. How do they inform one another? What connects them? What does that say about you?

• A List of Changes
• A list of things that I would like to change:
  Make time go slowly
  Lose my sweet tooth
  Bake more often
  Perfect my baking skills
  Achieve a more disciplined approach to everything
  There seems to be a common theme in the baking department. I love baking and having a lot of people to bake for would be fun. I don’t bake at home because someone has to eat it and I don’t want to be the one to eat all the goodies.
  Believe or not, I was trying to get outside of myself and think more globally such as climate change and world peace but as you can see, I didn’t get anywhere close to being that magnanimous. Oh well, I am a work in progress.
