At about 5:00 a.m., as coffee was brewing, I peered throgh a window, into the new snow that was falling. Then I opened your post and marveled at the synchronicity of snow.

Over the years I have left several jobs, one because the owner spoke to me in a haughty manner, another two because I felt taken advantage of. I suppose my life has been a reflection of that american restlessness, the wandering spirit which moves us from uncertainty to discontent.

I am fortunate, however, that in the snows of Winter I have mostly found purification and hope for the future. I think this has been paralleled in the mutability of my work circumstances. In retrospect I can honestly say that each job change, even the most precipitous, has been for the better.

Thank you for commenting --it looks like we have at least one past job that we quit in common because of someone's attitude! There's no excuse for anyone behaving rude or haughty with no provocation.

Yes, winter snow does bring a feeling of purification. So do bodies of water, even small ponds, which is what Robert and I are surrounded by here. It's cleansing.

Happy New Year!
