As I'm writing this blog, I am sitting on my warm, cozy couch, looking out my arching living room window onto the snow covered meadow behind my house. This morning, I was grateful that we didn't have school. I was so thankful that I got to sleep for a few more hours and that I didn't have to brave the slippery roads at 6:30 in the morning. But more than that, I am grateful for the snow. For the beauty and purity of it. Watching the TED talks video really made me think about reflecting on the beauty of the world around me, especially on this almost magical snow day.
Louie Schwartzberg said in his video that, "Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates beauty and gratitude." This is so true, and nature also makes us appreciate each day we are given. Each and every day we live is a gift, and sometimes it takes 5 inches of snow for us to realize that. I am lucky that I watched this video today, and after I reflect on the beauty of the world around me for a little while, I am going to go play in the snow.
HAPPY SNOW DAY
