      January 8, 2017Shoveling SnowVicki L. Wilson

      Take frequent breaks,
      especially if you have
      a broken heart.
      Every ten minutes is good.
      Don’t get too out of breath.
      Stay hydrated.
      Stop if it becomes too much.
      Grief will come hard
      whenever it wants.
      Try not to get too cold.
      Use a small shovel.
      Lift from your knees.

      “I live on the cusp of northern New York State, where areas this week got surprised by four feet of snow or more. Safe snow-shoveling technique warnings abound and seem relevant to my daily life.”
