December 19th - Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

20 December – Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Well, someone was listening to that song, we had 6 inches of snow here, which is very unusual. It is minus 11 degrees C / 15 degrees F (will warm up some next week) and normally Belgium is around 8 degrees C / low forties F at this time.

It was beautiful, even mesmerizing, white snow, on rooftops, cars, streets, trees, truly winter wonderland as in a postcard. It went on and on, Thursday the 17th. I went out, it was the kind of snow you want to kick up, pick up, throw around and be playful with and you actually heard your feet go crunch crunch

Now, Saturday night, the cold is breathtaking, 15 degrees or thereabouts.
The roads are hard to negotiate, it has all become ice, even around the corner to get bread, or else other parts where cars drive, have turned into mush

Tonight I went to an outdoor party around the corner, it is amazing how many people come out, eat , drink (warm wine everywhere!) and be merry, in spite of the cold.
Apparently it is snowing again tomorrow, which means it will be a tat warmer, so far the sky has been stark blue and crisp, very very beautiful. It has been a long time since snow…..New York probably.

This afternoon I went to a “city meditation”, which was very interesting. The teacher encouraged everyone to perceive cities by energy and we were asked which place here we felt most attracted to and why. Good little exercise for anyone anywhere!
Met some really cool people, went out for coffee, geez, if felt like I finally found a connection. Later we all took a Tarot class; it re-kindled my old love for the cards, I actually even brought them with me.

Coming back to my comment in the last posting:
The interview I had, was conducted by someone who works for the city of Antwerp and is looking for ways to improve tourism. She found me on a website for travelers. It was very pleasant, nice young woman.

EMDR has to do with Rapid Eye Movement, the kind of stuff you do when you are in Rem sleep.
I had my session, but did not notice anything different (insomnia and tinnitus)
