I love the snow. Not just because I have to because I live in a country where is snows more than it suns. I love it because it's bright and makes the world look pretty. I like the sound it makes when it crunches beneath my boots. I like kicking at it and seeing the flakes flutter to the ground.
I like the feel of the air too, when the sun is shining, but there is a biting chill that reddens cheeks. It's fresher than anything I know. It's a coating and the snow sparkles when the sun hits it. It's beautiful. I think it gives new life even if the branches beneath the snow are dead for winter. It's a new world in winter.
Winter has never been something you need to get through. No. It's a time to embrace and enjoy because it has so much to offer. So, when it snowed again this morning, I put my Santa Claus socks on and said come snow, let's play.
Perhaps if we spent less time trying to wait for the perfect weather and the perfect moment, we might notice the beauty around us. Hold out our hands while it snows and look at each snowflake and take joy in that beauty. It's what we have right now.
