SNOW DAY!!!

Everybody knows how much I love when it snows! I am so freakin' excited right now I would have to say I am loving this day even more than I love hot chocolate! And guess what, the Gods are in my favor because I have hot cocoa in the house! Wha-who! LOL. I cannot express how happy I am to be here to witness the storm and snow considering I was supposed to still be in California. I was in the San Francisco area since Tuesday and was suppose to be on the red eye landing back in New York today! As I said, God intervened on so many levels during that trip and part of the helping hand had me change my flight that got me home early Sunday morning..two hours before the first snowflakes starting pelting the city. As with all of my adventures, the California one was also a very interesting couple of days. I'll discuss that in a separate post to follow.

Now back to the SNOW! About noon or so I will put on my full out winter gear and go for a quick walk around the block. Too cold to linger anywhere. I will also try to find a small plot of unshoveled land to make a SNOW ANGELA. LOL. Its a challenge here in Brooklyn to find spots that man (or dog) hasn't touched. I always laugh when it snows because as soon as there is any shovel worthy amounts...people are out there doing just that...shoveling. They don't even take in an hour or so to just enjoy the stillness, the beauty. All they see is work to be done. I get it but still...are some so out of tune that they no longer are aware of the power of God and our place in the universe? Ironically, looking out my window I saw the next door neighbor, Jessica, and her family come out with skis to head towards the park. I found it funny that at one point she was on her cell phone as another woman with a shopping cart was going by. The woman with the cart fell down and because she was unaware, Jessica didn't notice it. Her presence, even out in the snow, was not aware of her surroundings even though she was in it. How interesting it is to me that we choose our presence. I believe snow, like other forces, is sent sometimes to slow us down so that we can think more about life and how we want to live ours. I feel fortunate and blessed to be here so I'm going to take not just a little time but rather alot of time to enjoy the view....and then it will be time to PLAY! My digital camera fell and broke on of all days my birthday. At least it fell at the end of the night so I have some good pictures. I'll paint a picture in words for you when after I go out and get lost in the snow.
