Enjoying a time out

Snow Day

Life just gives us treats when

we least expect it.

How I love a snow storm!

I love hearing about it on the news,

preparing for it

and waiting for it to arrive!

Yes ... I am one of the sillies

that has to run to the grocery store too.

How beautiful it is when snowfall begins,

there is such a quiet stillness,

a slowing down of routine.

With each snowflake falling

onto the ground,

it presents a sense of magic and awe.

The world outside becomes quiet and restful.

We are always so busy

in our day to day lives;

even when we try to slow down,

it doesn't always work.

The gift of unexpected snow,

a day home from work or routine,

its such a treat for me.

How I love being home whenever I can.

 I love being in my home

snuggled with the fire and family,

resting in the moment,

not able to run around town,

just staying put at home

can be a wonderful time.

Being snowed in forces us to slow down

enjoy what is right in front of us.

Always happy to wear my boots!

I was able to enjoy a day

of writing, beading, cleaning my home,

I re-arranged and created a writing corner for me,

I prepared for my next Zentangle® class,

and had a hot candlelight bath in the middle of the afternoon

(practicing some self care too!)

I love cooking a delicious meal

that I normally don't have the time to do,

it was a most beautiful Tuesday!

Time for a nature mandala!

Grateful for a snow day

Loving the time I took to slow my body rhythm down,

happy to be safe and warm

always seeking moments for

art and writing.

My snow day was amazing,

how was yours?
