Close your eyes...now listen

We have has our first HUGE snow for the year. If you know me well, you know I HATE SNOW!!! I have lived here for 15 years now and still I do not like the snow... so I thought. After school today Alex immediately offered to shovel the snow for me. I usually do it since David is usually at work so I just go out and get it down, but not today Alex wanted to help me out. I guess it was his way of saying, "Thanks Mom, for helping out at school, today."

Well, anyway Alex spent what I thought was forever just shoveling away. David called and told me he was going to be a little late with all of the roads so bad. So I thought I would help Alex out especially since we had the garage built, just seems to be a lot more work to do when it come to the snow. While we shoveled it was quiet. That quiet that makes you stop and listen. I closed my eyes and stood there feeling the peace that surrounded me and the crisp air against my face oddly enough brought comfort. It was wonderful.

I hope you have the chance to just stop, close your eyes and listen to the fall of the snow. I think I will do that again.....soon.
