Literally it is - what has been the longest white spell that I can remember experiencing is slowly retreating to a few places where the snow has been shovelled up into piles and remains in the shade. The ice still sits on the water - more marked on the Uiterwaarden than the canals around town where it is two or three degrees warmer. The days are longer - it's light now when I wake up - and (usually) when I go home from work too.
Emotionally that's happening too - after a long period of being locked away in an ice palace, I'm feeling the walls starting to melt and starting to see new things that I want to explore. I have a huge notice board in my office - almost three metres long. During the Christmas 'break' I took everything old off of it - (including the map of Europe that I have not been able to add any 'new places visited pins' for more than two years). The idea was to symbolically create the space for new things to come into my life. Slowly that's starting to happen.
