Why I love shoveling snow

 Why I love shoveling snow and why I can appreciate its zen qualities:

1. I love being outside in the cold and being active. It reminds me of skiing, since my heart is pounding and I’m enjoying the outdoors.

2. You work hard, and you can see the immediate results of your efforts. There is something so satisfying to look out and see a freshly cleared driveway.

3. My mind goes into a meditative state. As a matter of fact, this blog post was mentally composed while I was shoveling.
