Bliss

Why is it that the most beautiful things in life are always the most fragile? I was walking home in the snow last night watching the light reflect off the ice crystals & thinking

"How could anything be more lovely?"

Yet, how easily it is crushed. How easily you fall beneath its power. A few degrees warmer & it's gone. I shall hate to see it go.

As I walk along my allotted path it shocks me each time I hear the mumbled words of the passersby.

"Ugh, I hate this!"

"It's so cold!"

"I wish it'd stop snowing!"

NOOOOOOOO!!!

It'd dash my hopes if it did.

I'd rather spend the rest of my life cold than to wish away this frozen gift.

Each day of this winter I intend to giggle away as the world sparkles around me, remembering how blessed I am.

It is good to try and look at "snow" differently. I loved it as well. Make sure you have a snowball fight and go sledding! It is always a great thing to do when you need a study break! We miss ya but I know that you are where you need to be! Love ya!
