I'm feeling a bit out of sorts myself despite all attempts to be adaptable. In winter I usually ski but this year has been one of poor snow unless traveling 3-4 hours north. I have ridden the bike many days this winter up until early January. Then I came down with a case of flu and when recovered, about a week and a half later, we began to get some snow. Now southern Rhode Island is warmish due to proximity to the sea so the snow we got was too wet and gloppy to ski but lingered long enough to mess up the roads doe the bike.
When life hands up broken eggs we should make an omlette. We can't control the wind but we can adjust our sails. I am now out of aphorisms, fortunately.
