I LOVE SNOW. Seriously, I used to gripe and complain and tell Robert every year how much I missed snow. I love the looking at a snow globe out the window.
Now that I work at home, I don't have to worry about driving in it, or more specifically, I don't have to worry about who was driving next to me or around me.
When I look at my facebook feed, it is full of moaning and groaning about mother nature, winter, snow and ice.
I get it. People are tired and want to fast forward to spring.
Here I am still enjoying the snow. I have taken a different approach. I have been taking this opportunity to admire the beauty of snow.
In the past I had seen pictures of single snowflakes and I always admired the beauty of them.
This year I have started taking the opportunity of all of the snow to start snapping pictures of snowflakes.
I am taking the time to capture the beauty of my circumstance. I can't change the seasons, so I am working to find the beauty exactly where I am. I am not complaining or wishing away the snow and cold. I am deliberately taking the time to stop and look around.
I am by no means a "good" photographer, however, I am pretty happy with the way the pictures that have turned out. As I was sorting through my pictures this morning, I was reflecting on this.
Perhaps the secret to being content in any situation is to find the beauty around you. Children are good at this. My Munchkin is an expert at it. I have him to thank for helping me to find beauty around me. I am more observant because of him.
My challenge to you is to stop for just a minute and find the beauty around you. I promise that it will not be wasted.
