forced march

Wednesday

 It was 14 degrees in Kensington Maryland this morning...we've taken the 2 nephews outside 3 times this morning...the cold is bitter on the nose cheeks and ears but it's warm enough if we all keep moving...forced march...for warmth of course...not simply to expend energy so that all will be calmer and less argumentative...
My internal forced march is to simply be present with family and try to calm the constant inner nervous chatter before it grows into anxiety about the long walk ahead...the cold isn't so bad if you keep moving...one careful step at a time so that no careless mishaps occur...one step at a time. Be present...where you are...not where you're headed...
