I think, with snow, context is everything. They say it could be up to five inches today….which, for us, is HUGE. My guess is it still has a very good chance of being gone by noon.

Still though, snow is snow. And this, incredibly, is the fifth day I’ve seen flakes this winter. Unheard of.

And very beautiful. A small snowfall like this is a very calming, serene thing.

And definitely something to be grateful for.

(During this year, my goal is to find something new to be thankful for every single day, and to add that thanksgiving as a blog entry, under the title “My Daily Gratitude.” I started this kick back around Thanksgiving, and it’s already resulted in a favorite new song of mine. The goal of this ongoing spiritual exercise is to see if doing such a thing might inspire even more gratitude within me, and to foster general awareness of life on a deeper level.)
