It's Begining to Look a lot Like Christmas

I woke up early this morning to get S ready for school. The weather was awful, a mixture of rain and sleet- with the promise of snow later in the day. All morning I was thinking "Great, now the roads are going to be awful." "It will be freezing and icy, and getting to work will be a nightmare." "What will I do if they close work, I could use the extra hours"

Then, I noticed F standing at the window peering outside. She turned to me and said "WOW! Look at the snow!!"

Seeing my daughter's enthusiasm for this change in the weather reminded me to step back and readjust my thinking. After all, why spend my day being eaten up by pessimistic thoughts, when I could be out in the snow playing with F?

So F, P, and I took some time to enjoy the snow this morning. S will be coming home from school shortly, and I am looking forward to going back outside to let him play in it as well. I will try and update with more pictures later!
