"That son of a bitch would freeze up in the middle 
of summer on the equator!"
~Mr. Parker

Part 6 is dedicated to the first snowfall of the season!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE snow!!!!!! I can remember growing up waiting for the very first snowfall of the year!!! We use to pray for a White Christmas and I honestly cannot remember ever having a green Christmas when I was young! 

I love going to bed at night and then waking up to freshly fallen snow covering the trees and houses.  It looks so beautiful!!!  New and glistening snow is my absolute favorite to photograph!!!!  

Snow reminds me of when I was young. I loved making snow angels and both of my girls enjoy it as well!  I think this year when it snows again, I will make snow angels with them!  When Laurana was 3, she decided she likes to eat the snow, and I have to constantly remind her to not eat the yellow snow!!! And the brown snow!!!  She also likes to make snowballs and throw at me!  I miss the days of snowball fights over the bushes. Maybe if we get enough snow this year, we'll make snow forts and have snowball fights in the backyard!!!!

My girls in 2010

Do you have a favorite snow story?

Peace, Love, and Light, 

Christine

"Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought,  doesn't come from a store." ~Dr. Seuss Over the past 20 days, I have been on a quest to bring the magic of Christmas back to my heart and life.  I somehow lost the spirit of my favorite time of year sometime between 2006 and 2011 and I am very happy to say that I have re-ignited that flame and this has been a most wonderful Christmas for me.  This final edition is dedicated to family.  Not just any family, but my family. I honestly don't know where I'd be without my family.  My girls, husband, and parents, especially. My girls are my world. My everything.  Christmas probably wouldn't even be worth the craziness if I didn't have them.  My husband has been on a journey of his own to bring back the joy of Christmas in life and being on a journey with someone who you love and only want to see happy brings much joy!  And my parents have been two of the few people who have been by my side, supported m...

"One of the most glorious messes in the world is the  mess created in the living room on Christmas day.   Don’t clean it up too quickly." ~Andy Rooney Part 14 is dedicated to Last Christmas. No, not the Wham! song, well, not entirely.  Ya see, at the time of the original post, in 2012, that last Christmas (2011) was a tough one for me.  I had mixed feelings about a lot of different things ... well, really, about everything. I mentioned in an earlier post that I hit my rock bottom in 2012, but the bottom started to become clearer and clearer sometime around October of 2011.  At that time, an end was coming to my almost 5-year relationship and it was not even remotely close to getting any better, despite efforts to try harder, on my end.  The thing about trying harder is if it's not a two-way attempt, it doesn't work. And this didn't work.  Not for me.  There was no trust, no affection, nothing that any good relationship should have i...

"Look, Doris, someday you're going to find that your way of facing this realistic world just doesn't work. And when you do, don't overlook those lovely intangibles. You'll discover those are the only things that are worthwhile." ~ Fred Gailey (Miracle on 34th Street) Part 17 is dedicated to Believing. There is a very large part of me that believes in things like Santa Claus, fairy tales lives, happily ever afters and love at first sight. I've been told that my beliefs are unrealistic and silly, even. As silly as it may seem, believing in these fantasies allows me to keep my inner child, well, young.  Think about how a child's face lights up when he or she sees Santa at Christmas time, the innocence of believing that one man is so powerful and magical, that never ceases to amaze me.  I love that innocence.  I love feeling that innocence.  It's not something that too many adults stop to experience.  I think that this is one thing that I...
