Choosing Joy- In my warm cozy home



Pogonip is an indian word which basically means "freezing Fog". We have that off and on in the winter months. It is really freezing temperature wise and you can't see 2 feet in front of you. The worst part is driving in it. The ground gets frozen in patches. So not only can you not see where you are going,you have a tendency to hit patches of ice in the road. Then you slide and have no idea where you are going. I am so glad I do not have any reason to drive in it.
Another thing about the pogonip, is it freezes everything in its path. The telephone line, anything metal, the trees...everything. Now it can be a bad thing if the wires get loaded down with all the ice. The can snap,as well as the tree branches. But I choose not to dwell on that part.
The thing I look forward to, when we have pogonip, is the beauty the next day. It is like a silent ice storm came through and turned everything white. I have to count my blessings when we have these occur. One, I am tucked away, ever so warm and cozy inside the house. Two, I have no where to go. Three, I can wake up to this....From my warm cozy home.
