January 8, 2011

Saturday.

snow. snow. snow. I remember living in California over the past few winters, how exciting flurries would be. Except there, flurries are SNOW. Flurries make people go and buy bread and eggs and milk and stand in line at the REDBOX to rent the dollar movies. Its crazy how different it can be when you live somewhere else. 40 degree weather in California left me in scarves and gloves and layers upon layers, with complete failure to ever warm up. I would have never walked an hour and a half anywhere in that kind of weather. Largely because, with an hour and a half of walking, I would have made maybe 4 trips around the city of Redding =) Its all about your perspective though, isn't it? Snow, is well, still Snow! Whether its a flurry or a blizzard it calls for the same recipe. Sweatshirts. Movies. Hot Cocoa. Trapped inside. The feeling that you are trapped, can't go anywhere, plans are canceled type days, are so, reviving! Well, for me at least. I guess that says something about the way that I live. Maybe my schedule should be a little less packed so that I don't need snow days to keep me at home. Lets be honest, Saturday's snow was just a few inches... but our morning date for breakfast with friends was canceled. Our appointment to give blood. Cancelled. Out of our 10 person bible study, only 4 people showed up, including Chad and I; Which left us with more Brie Cheese Puff Pastry than 4 people can possibly eat...or maybe I should say SHOULD eat... because we did a really good job at tackling that block of goodness.

Well, this year I'm going to have a lot of snow days. Whether it's a flurry, or 90 degrees and in the middle of July. I'm taking snow days throughout the year. Trapped inside kind of days, where my soul can get reminded on what I live for, who I live for...to work on myself without all the busy mess.
