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?

i've got a little explaining to do....

Okay, so in case you haven't noticed, I'm a first time blogger. My name is Amanda and I don't really have a reason for starting this blog, other than the fact that I thought it would be a good place to get out my frustrations and thoughts about everyday life. The whole idea for this blog with it's title (Sit back, relax and enjoy) comes from the fact that in my family, we would sit down over coffee everyday and talk about what went on during our day. It's kinda our time to let loose, and right now I am away at school and don't really get to have "Coffee Talk" with my mom and sisters, so this blog is going to be my "coffee talk" session, whenever I need it. I imagine that there is going to be absolutely no order to this or any one topic..it will just be a collection of my thoughts.. about anything.. and everything.
So.. Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy
