Let it Snow!

It’s snowing! Living in the South, this is quite an event. We usually only get one or two snowfalls a year, so two “snow events” in a week is pretty amazing. Earlier I had classical music going while looking out at the snowfall. It was a very tranquil moment.

While the accumulation is beautiful, there is something else that I really enjoy about the snow…

Here in the South, when it snows, everything gets cancelled! It is awesome! No soccer games, no martial arts classes, no parties, no church events! We get to stay home. 

As I look out the window, I can see dads playing with their small children. Kids are playing outside, building snowmen and having snowball fights. The neighbor’s kids are over here playing with mine.

We are usually too busy for all of these things.  We have too many events to go to, too many places to be, too many practices for too many games.

And of all of the things that were cancelled today, how many were really all that important to begin with?  I think you know the answer…probably not too many. Time to simplify and cull the wheat from the chaff. Days like today remind me how much chaff I have in my life.

Let’s hear it for the snow!
