Sometimes I am thankful for the weather, it will always remind you that you are in this world, living. Whether you are outside shoveling the snow from a snow storm, or inside waiting for it to be over, storms always allow us to take a pause in our lives. I love seeing people referring to these days as storm days. It is true, they are, but do you recall when you first realized what a snow day was? Was it not when you were in school and you were given a day off. That is when I first recall the term, the lovely, lovely term. So let's think back to what we did during this time, break from school, what did we do?
I know that when I was small, I was outside once the snow stopped. Didn't matter when it stopped either; it always seemed light out even when it was dark. Usually it was the moon reflecting off the snow, but the glow was wonderful and brilliant. It always felt right and there was always this calming effect on the whole world. The trees would glisten, the air would be crisp and your parents were always happy that you got to go out and enjoy the snow, and enjoy the snow we did. Snowmen, snow angels and snow forts were just some of the construction projects that were erected around our neighbourhood. The cool thing was always when your parents part took in the creation of your engineering feats; they became kids too. I don't know why but your parents always knew exactly how to make it a little better. It was awesome.
After hours of playing outside, my favourite reward was always the hot cup of cocoa (but you already know that ;o) ).
SO next time you hear on the news that there is this big storm, instead of feeling dreadful about the 'work,' be thankful for your true moment of pause. Take that moment to enjoy the best things in life, love and family.
:o) Nor'Easter!!! Bring it on...the cocoa is ready
