Look closely, can you see what is missing from these photographs?
What if I tell you that today has been declared a Snow Day? Aha.
This is one of those moments when I love French logic. All the buses are cancelled in the entire region for the whole day because it might snow this evening. There is snow on higher ground but none here on the coast yet. I am coming to the conclusion that my plan to avoid winter altogether this year probably won’t work…
So for today it is all too tempting to put on my horrendously 80s cardigan (confession, I’m actually wearing it right now), curl up under the blankets with a mug of hot chocolate and read. Whilst doing this occasionally is no problem, and arguably even necessary to restore order, I am aware that here in Nice, with a much lighter workload, it’s all to easy to curl up in a warm nest. Even when travelling. I want to step out of my comfort zone, both in France and in my walk with God. It’s scary and sometimes the blankets call your name (and the hot chocolate!) but I need to do it, to persevere, to take risks. Because that’s where all the fun is.
