The phone rang at 7 this morning....it was Jack, our almost 6 yr old grandson, calling. "Nama," he said with such excitement, "we have a snow day." At that point it had been snowing alllllllllllll night (hey, it's Wisconsin!) and when they all awoke there was a 4 foot mound of snow in their driveway from the plows. Even with the industrial strength snow blower that they have, our son in law was out there for hours. Needless to say the kids were thrilled with the new fallen snow.
When I was a kid there was no such thing as a snow day; just didn't exist. Different times....
Later this morning our littlest grandson, Patrick, came for the day. I wish I could have brought him outside to make snow angels, but he is too little and would have sunk into the snow. Grandpa and I stood by the window with him, looking out at the snow falling. Patrick watched for awhile then would turn his little head with a huge grin on his face. It was as if he was learning a little about snowdays.
Snow can come in all shapes, sizes and textures...think of times when you have felt "snowed" in. The Christmas season comes immediately to my mind, and, indeed the stress of purchasing just the right gift(s), working so hard to make it all perfect....and, yes, here's my point......getting snowed under......and desperately needing a snow day. So, with only a few days left before Christmas, try to do a lot of deep breathing when you are standing in the long lines. And try to image/visualize peace surrounding you....and just maybe you won't feel snowed under.
