Don't underestimate the power of snow...

Just a quick thought. I'm sure all of us think about snow and usually cringe. Automatically our thoughts go straight to shoveling out our cars, tracking snow through the house, slushy and slippery stairs and soaked shoes.

Today was different though, with the recent storm leaving us with about 8-10 inches of snow, I decided to embrace it. Feeling like a child again, a friend and I made a snowman, and a snow angel. We then decided to just lay in the snow for a while, staring up at the falling snowflakes with these gigantic grins on our faces. It's been about 9-10 years since I actually PLAYED with snow, instead of just pushing it to the side and let me tell you ....today was GREAT. At first, I was hesitant, feeling sorta foolish. But I thought "What the heck? Can't hurt right?".


I know that the snow can be annoying, especially when it comes to traveling, but at the same time.. how can you get mad at something so beautiful. The trees are dusted with it, and it makes them stand out so much more. The mountains around me are covered in snow and it really just takes your breath away if you take the time to appreciate it.


So if anyone is feeling like they need a few minutes to let loose, and feel like a kid again...why not make a snowman?
