Snow Blessings

I know for some of you snow is not a good thing but I have to admit I love snow especially new fallen snow. Yesterday afternoon, we had a front move through that laid down about 3 inches of snow. It is so beautiful. This was a wet snow so all the trees and bushes also have snow on them. Snow, for me, signifies cleanliness. A new coat of snow covers all the mud and dirt up, It is clean, bright and fresh. Today, the sun is shining and it is gorgeous to look outside.

Fortunately, for me, I have a warm home to sleep in so the single digit temperatures that the snow brought does not affect me that much except for having to go outside more bundled up than normal. Sometimes, when I am feeling sorry for myself I have to remind myself how truly blessed that I am compared to many other people around the world. I have never been truly hungry due to lack of food, have always been able to go inside to the warmth of a heater and most of all have always had shelter that has protected me from the elements. Yes, I am truly blessed.
