Snow

I love snow.

I know most people love snow but I LOVE snow.

There is just something about it.

The world slows down, everything gets quiet.

One of my favorite things to do when I studied in Washington was when I was walking back to my dorm at night while it snowed.  The way the lights glowed, the way the world glowed.  It wasn't cold, it was calm.

Rarely do I have moments of just pure joy and when I see snow, especially the first snow, well that's one of them.

Its snowing outside right now.  We were told we're not going to have more than an inch of accumulated snow but looking outside, we might bet more.

I hope we get more.  We haven't had a white Christmas since I was young and I haven't really felt joy of Christmas time because we haven't even really had a cold one in years.

I want this snow to stay at least until next Tuesday night.   I need this snow to stay until next Tuesday night.

I need this joy.
