Winter Inspirations

What is weather to you? And how do you feel about winter? That season seems to cater to the following types. There are those who love the cold air, enjoy the snow. And of course there are those who lean towards the warmer seasons, rather stay warm inside and tend to make up for rather inactive winter days during the summer.

Personally, I am something of an “in-betweener”: I do love snow, don’t mind cold air either but also enjoy restful days inside. And yes, I also am more active during the summer.

Makes me wonder, though, if that is the “best” approach. For one, I kind of feel like I have to be more active on a warm and sunny day. After all, I was too restive on the cold, rainy or freezing days, right?

And so, I develop a bad consience, if I don’t get the most out of every sun-shiny-day. Which in turn also stresses me because I don’t always pay attention to when I should rather rest than hang out outside and be active in some way.

How about, though, if being active outside was not tied to pleasant temparatures, cloudless skies and the like? How about, if I could do a little something outside, no matter the inclings of the weather? How about if that something could be anything from moving comfortably to serious work-outs, depending on my mood and physical condition?

Claudine, Philippe and Wilhemina have inspired me with the following pictures and videos. Be enchanted by winter too…
