HIBERNATION VS DETERMINATION

By Barry Lee Coyne ATMS

Jack Frost is definitely here and it’s the season for gloves and scarves. Do we withdraw from
activities and hibernate in our cave?

Try doing just the opposite. Emerge from the passive state and bring warmth to your TM
friends and colleagues. Don’t pretend that your mind is suddenly frozen.

Here are a few suggestions to scan over as you prep up for your next awesome oratory:

*Stages of building a snowman.

*Watch an Olympic sled event.

*Your first attempt at skating.

*Missing school due to snow.

*A memorable snowball fight.

*The dynamics of skiing.

*When life goes downhill.

We are indoors more as winter takes over the landscape. Fall is behind us and the trees now lay
bare. Darkness becomes the new norm. There is no better time to enlighten us so hibernate not!!!

Note. Lee is a retired therapist who likes
to avoid snow jobs and dig a bit below
the surface.
