My little beach town has been touched for most of the day by little flurries coming down by the thousands. 3 1/2 years ago I would have grudgingly begun layering my clothing and embark on what was most likely the 10th day of snow in a quiet mountain town. And-I was surely hoping that the next 24 hours would not include myself sliding off the road when my bad driving and weather conditions crossed paths. But today, far removed from the mountains I intentionally head towards the open beach to try to capture in a photograph the beauty of snow falling on the sandy dunes. The color of the sand is so far from white when the flakes make their way down to its level. And standing there completely inappropriately dressed and freezing (which usually makes me sad) I was very happy to realize that I take things for granted ...that I stop seeing at times but that I could do something about that. So I don't want that mind set anymore. Let's not be unimpressed or untouched by the common good. And let's not take the sun coming up for granted just because we know it will do it again tomorrow. Ok, I'm a realist and it perhaps and most probably will-but that doesn't give us the right to overlook the miracle there. Recognizing this may cause you to spring from your bed with a new energy...or if your laid back like me maybe you will just smile as you realize the miracles that brought you to this place.
