leaping into february

By

Welcome, February!

This month provides us with a leap year. It’s also the start of the great dreaded month of February in New England: when Vitamin D diminishes, when our woodpile slowly retreats back into the woodshed as we keep our home warm day after day and night after night. Winters are long and February is the peak of cabin fever (so I hear) yet this is me: outwardly (and somewhat annoyingly) positive about this month.

The day I took this it was warm, 35 degrees and sunny. I ventured out in long johns and actually broke a sweat running through the snow from camera to snow fort to snap this shot. All the while laughing, right? This is what I love about jump shots. They change the chemistry of your mood.

This month we are introducing leap as our One Word for the month of February. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to defy gravity. Leaping can mean taking steps in new directions, trying to adventures, stepping outside of your comfort zone.  Leap however you see fit. Leap because it’s scary. Jump because it makes you smile. Leap because it makes your heart race. Leap into life with both feet because why not? Jump because life is not about stagnation. Leap in the face of new adventures. Leap and then leap again.

Won’t you play along with us this month? Show us what leaping means to you. Be sure to enter your images in the OWP flickr pool and check here daily to see if your photos have been showcased!
