1st Snow Winter 08

So I love the snow!  The white fluffy flakes of goodness gently falling from the sky makes my insides warm up and want to dance.  

Snow is romantic to me, like curling up in a warm blanket next a roaring fire with the one you love.  

Snow is pure, it seems to make the dirties streets, cars, and lawns spotless.  

Snow is a mental reset.  Life just seems to slow down a little bit when the white stuff is falling.  

So here are some pictures from this mornings snow and as I type this a little before 3pm, more of the flakes of goodness are floating down gently outside my window.

here's to hoping for 3 feet

Crappy....

I’m feeling a little crappy, here’s why, or at least so I think:

- life feels really messy and chaotic right now.

- I’ve recently spoke at 2 retreats and did a trip to GA and I feel like I’m still working on school work from the 1^st week of class and we’re about finish the course!  AGGHHH

- Our current class has my thoughts about faith, tradition, denominations, convictions and about 15 other things in my head all screwed up right now.

- I was recently asked by a coworker if we could meet to talk about his life, I’m excited, scared, yet ashamed of my enormous pride.  God Help!

- Feeling like I’ve been running so hard lately that I’ve forgotten God, I’m missing him right now.

- Feel like I’m neglecting what’s important in life;  Health, faith, rest, school, the list can go on.

And to top it off my favorite coffee cup I received as a graduation gift from high school from my sister finally gave out this morning, it was a great cup, literally hundreds of gallons of coffee has pass through it, oh places it has seen, the people it has meet, great memories

Time to cheer up! Life’s not that bad, I think it’s just that time of the month for me.
