\"magical\"<\/a>Magical<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I love being outdoors and communing with nature. However, if the temperature dips under 20\u00b0 F, I am not going out. Yes, I am a wimp. I have always known this, but living in western New York, it has become ever so apparent. I keep running into hardy women who are 15 to 20 years my senior, who look at me strangely, when I tell them that I don\u2019t hike on days colder than 20\u00b0 F. They simply say \u2013 \u201cJust put on another layer dear.\u201d Well folks, no matter how many layers are on this body, it\u2019s too damn cold. On days I walk to yoga from my car, just a couple of blocks, my lungs hurt from the cold air, even though I have a scarf covering my mouth and nose in an attempt to warm the air.<\/p>\n

This winter has been brutal, but I did find some days to go out and hike. Recently, I visited some of my favorite spots. The ice was treacherous, making most paths impassable, but magical nonetheless.<\/p>\n

The Universe is calling me outside when I wake up to winter blue skies and it\u2019s warmer than 20\u00b0 F.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"You<\/a><\/p>\n

You would never guess that there was a path on the other side of the bridge. The ice was so thick it would have been easier to skate on it, than to walk on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Looking down into a frozen gorge and waterfall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
