“The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.”

This is what happens to a mind that is trapped in a hotel room during a snow storm. ha ha ha With our steep driveway (out in the country) we decided to stay in a hotel in town. It turns out that it was a good decision. Our neighborhood is still too icy to venture in, so our neighbors are taking care of the house, while we stay in town a couple days. We got a lot of snow and it’s a mess!
I hope that wherever you are reading this from, that you are safe and warm.
