My phone made a noise at 5:30 am letting me know I had a message. It was my daughter, Karlee informing me that they didn't have to go to school today, because of the snow. A snow day! I tried laying there a little longer, but then my phone rang at 6:00 am with a recorded official message about school being closed today. I decided to go ahead and get up and go downstairs to make coffee and get my day started. I wasn't sure yet if I was going to work at Jane's today or not.
Figured out shortly that I had a snow day too! What was I going to do today?
The morning started off slow with hanging out with Micah in the living room, drinking coffee and talking some while we sat on our devices.
I cleaned the kitchen, made a pumpkin pie, watched Frosty the Snowman, listening to Christmas music all day (so far), took a nap on the couch, fried some corn tortillas for chips and salsa. Drank some chai, then some tea and more tea....stayed cozy warm under 3 blankets in the living room watching the snow come down then stop and start again. Reflected on a some memories of my dad with a smile on my face and an ache in my heart.
It's 4:30 now and after all day long the sun has peeked through and gave way to a light blue, cloudy sky with snow covered pine trees as cars drive by on the slushy streets. I feel rested and at peace.
I haven't been out all day, I think I will go check the mail and continue with my comforting and restful day. It was a nice day, I enjoyed being at home today and look forward to a new day tomorrow.
Another thought that makes me smile as my heart aches a little is knowing how much God loves me and blesses my life, that makes life easier and lighter to live.
