Our Second January Thaw And Lies We Tell

It isn't a lie, we are having a second January thaw.  Apparently it isn't going to last but it is nice to be able to get out for a while again.  Here in Bruce County snow and lots of it is a given in the winter.  This is probably the snowiest place I have ever lived in Ontario.  I lived in Thompson, Manitoba for a year and even their with 40 below being the average temperature we never had this much snow.  At 40 below it actually hardly ever snows.  During the small amount of sunlight we had each winter day you could see ice crystals in the air but very little snow fell.

My other topic "Lies We Tell" came from my favorite source of information CBC radio.  I listened to the program yesterday while driving to all the places I could while the weather permitted.  After mulling over the information I tried to categorize the lies I have told over my lifetime.

1)  Lies we tell stranger, acquaintances and friends

2)  Lies we tell to family and others we love

3)  Lies we tell ourselves

There is a woman who is writing a blog "Lies I tell My Daughter".  I haven't read her blog but I will before I write anymore on my lies, my reasons for telling them.  About my lies of omission, which I believe are most of our lies, and most importantly the lies I tell myself.

Now I am heading for the library to restock on books before the freeze hits and I am house bound for another week or more.
