One of the weirdest things I’ve ever experienced is the
bright reflection that shines off the snow and illuminates everything…even in
the middle of the night. Yep. It’s SO weird. The snow reflects even the softest
moonlight times like a bazillion. It still kind of freaks us out. But one thing
I kind of love about it is that I can see my favorite person lying in bed next
to me, pillow talk is so much sweeter when I can dimly see his smile. And on the days where the sun is out,
the reflection from the snow makes the sunlight in our house all the more
bright. I love that we get natural lighting from sun and earth during the
winter.
I find myself reflecting on times in the past, the winter
seems to illuminate them and makes me keenly aware of both past happiness and
past sadness. Just today I was gazing out the window and remembering when body image was a daunting shackle for me, and when I discovered that green stuff was still growing even in winter, the time when I achieved my goal to run a 5k, and
when I was blown away by a surprise pregnancy, and of course I can't forget all the Easters we have spent together as a family. There has been so much richness
in our life. For the hard times and for the sweet times, I’m grateful.
