It started snowing here in Washington yesterday... we usually don't really see snow, but if we do it isn't until maybe March or April even sometimes. So of coarse no one was prepped for it. We don't have a back up plan, a cupboard full of food or even lots of firewood saved up in case of an emergency...
But my house hold seemed to be just fine with out all that. We threw together a big pot of chicken and veggie soup, had lots of coffee and cocoa and spent way more time than usual in front of the tv watching movies, tv shows off the dvr and just over all being lazy.
It has been beautifully relaxing. To put life on hold, with out the worries of all of our lives falling to their doom! Usually that is not the case. For me, I usually freak out about any tiny little hiccup in our plans. Anybody running late makes me grumpy. Plans changing last minute makes me unhappy. But this weekend, I see that life can go one great, even better than great just by staying home, making some yummy treats, cuddling on the couch and enjoying my family and time here, anywhere.
I hope to have more times like this in the future, the near future. And I surely hope that I don't wait around for it to snow again.. I hope I can remember that our life is worth living, every moment of it and I am the one who can make that happen!
