Let It Snow
Finaly a real snow fall. It has been snowing all day here and we have had about 10 cm of snow so far with maybe another 5 to come over night. I like it when there is a bit of snow on the ground. Everything looks so fresh, so pure and new. It gives such a sence of hope. Like all the dirt from the past is covered over.
The funny thing about a snow storm in the city is just how bright it is. The lights from the city is reflected in the clouds. You could go out at midnight and there would be enough light to read a book by. It is eerie and beautiful all at the same time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it is important to find magic in everyday life. There is so much beauty in this world and we rarely see it because we are so bogged down in our own lives. Such simple things can bring joy, if we just open our eyes and look around. It took me a long time to figure that out. Even now I have times where I lose sight of it all. Yet all it takes is a night like this, a night with nothing to do but sit and watch the snow fall to remind myself. That is the strength from above, the gift that inspires us to keep going, to keep looking. It is the simple, little miricals that we often take for granted, that are the most important ones of all.

I certainly believe that the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. I think Winnie the Pooh said that :)
If I were still blogging, I would write about this very idea. Not as you have written here exactly, but that is not to say I don't agree with you. Actually, I agree completely. The little moments in life are some of the most beautiful. Why is that so hard to remember daily?
