Reflections on Groundhog Day
Every February 2nd, our minds gravitate either towards a silly tradition of relying on rodents to predict the weather, or towards the 1993 film that celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. I feel old just typing that!

But no matter what the groundhog sees, warmer weather is always waiting for us beyond February. Until then, there are plenty of winter activities to take advantage of while you still can. No matter the weather, every day is another opportunity to break free from routines or parts of your life that make you feel stuck.
