yes i have moments, like when i was walking back from a meeting late last night, almost a mile across campus...my feet were cold, my head was wet from the snow, and i keep slipping on all of the unplowed walkways. or this morning when i cleaned off my car for the 20th time this week [a total exaggeration, i know :)]. or tonight when i hike downtown to get groceries and build some serious arm muscle carrying it all home.
but every morning i still wake up with a smile on my face when i see those fluffy flakes falling from the sky. i think people have lost that magical excitement of a snow day. people no longer appreciate mother nature, they just complain about how she disrupts their life. i think that the snow is a reminder to slow down, to stay home and take a break from the busyness of every day, to enjoy a quiet moment in nature, or to channel your 8-year-old self and have a snowball fight or build a snowman.
last night i looked out my window and saw this sweet little snow angel on the lawn outside. someone remembered what snow days are really about and took time to enjoy it :)
so i challenge you to take a minute and enjoy the snow this weekend...no matter how miserable it makes you. go for a walk, take some pictures, or fall back into the snow and make an angel of your own...
