Good morning Blendfriends!

"There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them" Nietzsche

This (or a version thereof) was the quote in my Lindt Advent calendar this morning. I thought it was perfect for today. I also got a nice chocolate Santa this morning. But I saved it for later. It is also Nikolaustag today. Did you get chocolate or a piece of coal? A nice colleague gave us all (at least in my area) a small Lindt Santa. She is so sweet!

I missed checking in yesterday as the crazies at work got ahold of me. I made it to spin class but I could tell I was quite tired during the class. I still tried as hard as possible. I will go to the gym tonight and do an easy run with some sprints but keep it short. Then focus on lower body strength with a touch of core.

What are your plans for the day? How are our snowy friends surviving? I saw Martine's nice picture. I do not like snow but when the trees are covered it looks pretty nice.

Everyone is welcome to share. Wishing everyone a great day!
