Icy Day

Okay so I am little different from most people because icy days like today don't really stress me out, in fact most of the time I actually enjoy them since they are a day that most everyone just has to slow down or come to a complete stop. It is a day that we all don't get near enough especially me. Luckily, I work for a company that entrust it's employees to make their own judgement about whether or not they can make it to the office on icy days. I promise I am not going to take advantage of that little fact - I plan on trying to make it into the office by about lunch time. But it has been really nice just not have to rush and be able to get things down and just enjoy the morning. So while I know a lot of people are stressed out this morning - I figured I would list a couple of the reasons I love icy days.

1. When the alarm clock goes off at 5am to go to the gym - I just get to turn it off and go back to sleep.
2. I get to sleep in on a work day.
3. I get to enjoy the morning and actually eat breakfast - my favorite meal of the day.
4. Even though it is super slippery outside it is actually really pretty.
5. I am force to slow down, which I need to do more often.
6. I had time to have a really good quiet time without having to watch the clock.

Even though I know the ice can be an inconvenience most of the time - hopefully everyone will just take time to slow down and just enjoy the down time. Stay safe and keep warm.
