Snowy morning in the village

Ah, we woke up this morning to a see the village covered in a lovely, crisp blanket of snow. The village church looked stunning in its finest coat of white. It is amazing how a week ago the snow in Rome was causing so much trouble even finding somewhere open to have a meal or a cup of coffee. The fact the it snows at home is much more fun. I was so excited when I looked outside to see 3+ inches of the white stuff. It was like when I was a kid again. The one major difference is in our new world of technology and remote connectivity it does not mean a day off. But that is okay because I can still work while enjoying my cup of hot chocolate! Just because we grow up physically does not mean that kid is no longer inside of us. I think it is important even as a "grown up" to have a snowball fight or ride a sled down the closest hill. It makes us better people when we can have fun. It puts things like work stress and the day to day stresses of our modern lives into perspective. So, if it snowed where you are go out and throw some snowballs or take the sled out (if you don't have do what you would have done as a kid, get a trash can lid or piece of cardboard). If you don't have snow today do something else fun, something you have not done in years. Believe me, you will feel better for it. You might even forget about your worries for a bit. Enjoy!
