We were so happy this week to have a pretty, steady, snowfall. The kind that sticks, and even forced the school system to allow for a snow day. It was the next day that I was still in hibernation mode. My idea was to build a fire, make some coffee, watch TV and enjoy the snow from our comfy, cozy living room. Our 4-year old, Lillian, just wanted to go outside and play. "When can we build a snowman?" --"Not now, it's cold, and you'll get sick." --"But it's okay, I've got my pink boots, and my coat!" So, after much persuasion, Tim took the three of us out for a quick lunch. Lillian insisted on wearing her sunglasses and then later found her very favorite pink umbrella at Mimi's. Her enthusiasm for the day was contagious and even brought on a few smiles from onlookers at Steak -n Shake! She seized the day and reminded me of the joy of being a little girl, full of life and energy when waking up to SNOW!
Begin doing what you want to do now. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand, and melting like a snowflake. ~Marie Ray

Is the circle of footprints from Lillian going round and round in circles...it's pretty cool to see your own footprints...
