Having Isla in my life has me looking forward to all the firsts that she will get to experience. The saying "through the eyes of a child" I'm finding to be true, because each new first she does is so exciting...for me!
Today we had our first "snow". Snow in quotes because it wasn't really anything fantastical, just light flakes floating through the air for a few hours, with nothing sticking to the ground. But the anticipation of a true sticking snow, the fun of tramping around in it, having snowball fights, snowshoeing, sledding, days off from school, hot cocoa with marshmallows...that is what is conjured up in my mind when I think of what she will experience as a child.
Remembering how I felt as a kid when it would snow, and even today as an adult, it is a good feeling. It is a brief moment in time where we have to pause, to succumb to the forces of nature, and experience the beauty and purity of the whiteness covering everything. The world becomes quiet, dampened by the blanket of snow, and there is a sense of serenity and peace. Such a good feeling. Snow, please come again!
