the saving grace of this city
is the enormous park
(which i thankfully live near)
so on my snow day
i decided to take myself on a walk
through the foot of fresh snow

an awakening cold
the sun helped legs move
in fact, the longer i was out, the warmer my body became
even warmer than being in the apartment
my warm toes and fingers reminded me
i need to move more
challenge my muscles
at least use them
a little embarrassing to admit how little i use this body
yesterday served as a reminder
for the appreciation i have to propel myself on this earth

i vow to take more strolls
increase the breaks from school and work
move
can you believe the colors of the snow before sunset?
get out there and explore
