the fresh fallen snow

i love snow. always have. it is cold, clean, brings quiet and awesome snowmen. it also brings a quiet peace. walk outside while it is snowing and what do you hear? nothing. the birds are in their nests, the animals have found shelter and are waiting for the snows end to come out. they know that it is time to rest.

what do we as americans like to do? go go go. and then we keep going. rarely do we stop, rarely to we rest and admire the beauty of the world around us. what does the snow make us do? it makes us stop. that is the other element to the quietness. the lack of traffic driving on our roads.

we close early and go home. yes there are some who have to keep working in the snow, but for most of us, it makes us stop. so we go home and watch it fall. hopefully spending time with our families and definitely getting the mental and physical rest that we need.

do you need these breaks? do you like these breaks or is it just another plan ruined?
