Snow Day

Can you believe we had SNOW on Tuesday? It looked like we were inside of a snowglobe!! People were bundled up in their coats, hats and scarves (items that they probably received as Christmas gifts but hadn't had the opportunity to use!). But, you know the stories you hear about Texas weather changing at the drop of a hat? It's true! The snow was kinda light and the flakes were big but it was a special treat for us. There is something about snow that brings out the child in everyone. People tossed snowballs at each other and built snowmen (okay, they were itty bitty mini snowmen but snowmen, nonetheless). We had a momentary winter wonderland.
The next day, it was sunny and BEAUTIFUL!! You would never have guessed that we had snow the day before. As wonderful as the sunny weather is, there was something special about our snow day. Snow seems to slow people down and help them to appreciate the simple things - a nice warm mug of hot chocolate (can't forget the marshmallows!), a warm coat, the laughter of a loved one. Maybe snow days are meant to make all of us take a deep breath and enjoy life.

Until next time folks, keep it clean.
