Stillness is the flower of winter, all hope waits beneath a blanket of white.
It is snowing here, light fluffy wet snow. Beautiful when you don't have to drive in it. Awesome when your winter sport means to skillfully navigate it.
Used to build snowmans as a kid, snow banks to dive in, some made snow angels as well. The blessings of youth.
The soil gets it nutrition from the winter blanket. The budding flower of spring brings us hope of warmer days just around the corner.
Every season has its purpose and if you can enjoy just a little of each you have found the gratitude that will empower your daily walk and chores.
Gratitude for the crunch on a winter walk. The stillness of winter, the passing car crushing snow under its wheels and the distinctive sound when a car tries to climb an icy hill. You root for the car and the friction of the tire went it finds some grip.
Spring and Summer will come again. But for now enjoy the sounds, the stillness, the time to bundle up and stay warm. The chance to drink some hot chocolate with those tiny marshmallows.
The hot water is boiling now so I am heading for my hot mug of cocoa now.
Enjoy the winter and stay warm
Smiles sent to warm your soul
Hugs sent to keep you warm
