First snow of the year!

What does the word snow do to you? Does it bring up fond memories of playing in it? Or does it bring up stress as you worry about slippery streets, accidents, and broken bones? Or as a child, do you hope for a day or two out of school/work?
I love the snow. The white clean and peaceful beauty of the snow crunching underfoot as you walk through it, or the chill you feel as you lay down in it and make snow angels. I still enjoy watching the individual flakes fall! It's like being inside a snow globe!  Do you take the time to look at a few of the flakes like we did as children? They are beautiful - another reminder that everything is purposeful, and designed for you to enjoy.
Ever heard of singing in the rain? How about dancing in the snow? Each season brings its own beauty and sense of change, each a gift given during its own time of the year.  Try to take time this year to appreciate the beauty around you. Each day is a gift - unwrap it!
