it is here...s-n-o-w!

Snow...

Just the word makes me happy. Say 'snow' to me on a sad day and my first thought will be, 'Where! Here?! is snow coming, are we going to the mountains?!" I mean think about it, snow sounds like a lot of other good words

hmmm, okay so I can only think of two words that snow sounds like but it makes all these happy feelings inside of me :)

And it isn't just how snow looks, how it drapes the entire world in a beautiful, pure, innocent frosting of white, it isn't how though it looks perfect untouched, it is still amazing seeing scattered footprints from kids playing with their parents, to animals running through it, to college students making snow angels, it isn't that is creates a silent beauty that mutes the sound of the world, it is the fact that weather you like it or not, you are forced to slow down. It becomes accetable to go outside and play, no matter how old you are. People do not speed to work, they take their time, being safe and cautious. The world understands if you are late or cannot come to work, it is rather, 'take your time, get here when you can safely'. Yes it does cause hiccups in traffic, in your so busy, overscheduled, hectic, well thought out plans but you know what, for one day or two or even three, take the time to enjoy the simple gift that you were given. Yes it is cold, and wet and can get dirty, but hey snow doesn't come that often, enjoy it while it is here.
