I woke up this morning to snow—in March. It was so beautiful! When I went for my walk, I was amazed at how much a dusting of snow gives definition to the landscape. Rather than a mass of branches, I could see each individual twig, every flower. Every groove and tractor track in the field showed up as the white blanket cast shadows that brown never can.Daffodils drooped under their little white night caps.

The whiteness and the hush always amazes me. Even though the road was clear, and the cars rumble along, still… It’s as if the world pauses for a moment to just breathe.

I watch my busy life as I rush to get things done and I realize how much I am missing. Yesterday I was too busy to feed my soul. By the end of the day, I just felt awful. Today I chose to take the time and just walk and look and listen.

I feel much calmer. Things are more in perspective. I still get caught up in negative thinking, but I catch it earlier. And I’m realizing how poisonous it is, how different I feel when I focus on color and light and joy and laughter. And new fallen snow.
