As I write my first blog entry for 2010, the snow is swirling outside and getting deeper on the ground, minute by minute.
Looking outside, it is difficult to tell where the pavement ends and the road begins. A soft blanket covering the treacherous ice underneath. What we see on the outside, a picture of calm tranquillity does not reflect what lies beneath.
The same is often true of people. The face they present to the world, a calm, assured exterior, often covers a mass of anxious thoughts and insecurities. It is so easy to put on a front that masks what is really going on inside.
