The snow came yesterday. While we had a few flurries back in September, but nothing substantial. All October, I have been hearing about how odd it was that he didn't have snow yet. Well it is here now and it's here to stay. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. Sure I have my michelin man coat to keep me warm and I invested into some burly snow tires but I am not ready to say good by to the sun and greet the bitter cold of the loooooooonnngg winter that lies ahead.
Time to pull out the list. A few weeks ago, I was hate hate hating Alaska, I decided to be proactive and make a list. A list of things that I like about Alaska. I've noticed that people really do love it here and while I have yet to fall in love with Fairbanks, Ak, there are surely things to like about it. Now, when I find myself hating my life here in Alaska, I pull out the list and remind myself that there are plenty of things to like about this place - even if I don't love it, I can like it.
1. I have a job here. It feels pretty good to be employed and I feel very fortunate and blessed to have this job.
[more from my list to come.................]
I can't wait until you see the northern lights...and I hope one day I will see them too. I think that will make the list
