I opened the blinds in the kitchen this morning and looked across the back yard. Snow had fallen through the night and we had about three inches by the time it finally came to a halt. There is more predicted by daylight Sunday morning. At five am with the glow of a security light from the neighbors yard I watched as a light wind whipped some of the flakes through the crisp cold morning air. The dead grasses of summer now covered with a white blanket of snow made a pleasant sight as I prepared coffee. Of course by evening the flip side of this picture will show up as slush with the texture of grit and the color of mud. Quite a change but part of the whole picture so one has to enjoy before it reaches that final stage.
There is lots of beauty in this world and sometimes we miss the sights that are there for us to enjoy. I guess it is just taking the time to slow down for a minute and take it all in. I forget at times about this trip we are on, that one called life, and how important it is not to get too wrapped up in the details. I study about current events and listen to how people let those events effect them in their daily lives. It is important to stay abreast of current events at the same time I need to look around more and in my search for understanding of what is taking place around me I still need to stop and smell the flowers. So today I will attempt to take in the fragrances and will let others question the days events and proclaim their approval or dissent thereof as I enjoy a restful day.
