Walking in the Woods on a Snowy Morn
Wordless Wednesday

I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

Writing Down the Story 
I love the juxtaposition of the snow and the moss in the trees! This image is representative of how I’m feeling this year…yet seeing that I no longer feel that I’m “In the Bleak Mid Winter” because even now on the shortest day (and longest night) there are glimpses of green and life and hope if one but takes a moment to look.
Thank you 🙂

Thank you, Gheeta. “In the Bleak Mid-Winter” is actually one of my favorite Christmas carols. Somehow I don’t mind the dark. I like the opportunity to turn inward and see what is there. Long days and the exuberance of summer is only possible for me because of this season. Another perspective. xoxo Gretchen
