It’s snowing here and in my excitement, even though I didn’t have to get up early, I was up early. Silly I know for me to not sleep in, because going out today is not a viable option, but the child-like wonder in watching snow fall has never left me. So here I sit, coffee in hand and snuggled under a blanket in our warm home, watching the snow fall outside in what is being called a blizzard. Ah, the benefits of being a Jersey Girl!
Especially when snow is falling at night, I am entranced by the wonder of each individual snowflake being unique, much like human beings. Collectively they fall from the sky to pile up together, nestled on the ground, and then blown by the winds to be swept up again into drifts.
I love snow like I love people – I love their uniqueness, their quirky ways and their ability to bond together to form a cohesive snowball! LOL I know I’m being silly here, but I can’t help it. I’m giddy today. I just can’t help myself from smiling. I don’t even care that it will take me a long time and much effort to clear a path, clean off our cars and get out after the storm has ceased. But for now, the winds are blowing, the snow is falling and since we have no place to go – so as the song goes – Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
I am feeling innately sated today and I’m counting my blessings. We have homemade chicken soup all ready for lunch (and maybe even dinner?) if the mood suits us. Plenty of snacks and some movies to enjoy watching together. There’s no school and no work to attend today so we will just enjoy being together, safe and sound, watching the outside world be covered in a mantle of white lace.
Life is good friends. Shine your heartlights.
Shine On!

Same here… I can relate to the feeling of getting up at the same time even on weekend…and also watching the snow fall and Oh! I’m a Jersey girl too !!
Megha – Jersey Girls Unite! I hope your safe and sound in this snow today! It sure looks pretty outside, doesn’t it?
Yup looking from the window it goes but I have no wish go outside..he he
I was already outside shoveling! I adore it! The snow was above my knees in places where it has drifted! So much fun! 🙂
I like the snow when it doesn’t hinder me. I’m ok today, but….
Go with the flow!
Yvonne, Ever the silver lining. Love it,.

Thanks Alan! That silver/white lining is all around me! 🙂
It is in being able to stand in the heart of a child that unconditional love is born…enjoy the show Yvonne, may it last for at least a little while ❤ 😀
Thanks Mark! It is just beautiful out there even today although the winds are making it feel like temps are -8 F degrees. Chilly! But still invigorating! ♥ 🙂
I am happy when I see how happy you are!
Aww shucks Jay….that’s how I feel about you too! Let’s spread happiness everywhere today! 🙂
I am feeling innately sated today and I’m counting my blessings. – 🙂 Loved this post for your child like joy.
Thank you! So happy to hear you are feeling similarly! Woo hoo! 🙂

I love snow, too! After all, you get the awesome qualities of water in a crystal form, so it’s just plain happy!
Yes, it always makes me very happy! I love to get out there and play in it!
I am so jealous. I love snow but we rarely see it where I live and I find myself longing for a moonlit walk in the snow! It’s beautiful. You enjoy it Yvonne and send me some!
Ok, Gail, here comes some of that spun white sugar snow! Just a dusting to get you in the mood! Can you feel it???
Yes, I feel it! Ahhhh……. 🙂 🙂 Thanks!
Awww. Your post made me feel enchanted and cozy all at once. I’m glad you had such a lovely day.
Thank you! I hope you did too!
Clearing the driveway after yesterday’s storm was tough, but mainly because of the wind. I do like the snow, and at least I didn’t have to go anywhere until most everything was clear.
I had some help with the driveway for which I was grateful. Although I’m not really good at shoveling heavy snow, I love to shovel, clean off the cars and all the fun stuff. Glad you’re doing well!
