I like the idea of being different. When most zig, I hope to zag. When people say "well of course it is THIS," I have the urge to say "But what about THAT?" When it is time to fly south for spring break, I... drive to North Dakota. So it is not always the best philosophy. This year it was quite cold. I mean exceptionally bitter, pathologically frigid outside. However, it was heartwarming to be with friends and family for the week. A rock concert with the parents, godmother duties and a babysitting gig with my niece, lunch meetings with friends, cooking tutorials with cousins, and a rum/licorice tasting with sister and brother. The pictures were taken near the St. Johns campus in Minnesota. Titled Lean On Me, this art piece , this fairy tea party looking place that is waiting out winter is a metaphor for what I felt this week: among the snow, immersed in harsh temperatures, I still find joy, whimsy, beauty, and comfort in moments I get to share with the people I care about. But sometimes I wished they lived in Arizona.
