Some people like the feel of sand between their toes or to walk in the moist morning grass. Some like to feel the heat of a warm bath as they first step in or the chill of the ocean's tide. I love the feel of snow beneath my feet. Now, I'm a little nuts and yes I took my shoes off for a second, but that's not what I mean. I love the feeling and the sound of that fresh snow, just as it's falling. The middle of the night when there are no sounds, but the crunch of it as you take your first step. It's as if there is nothing else in the world, but you and the snow. I love watching it float down through a street lite and the bright reflection off the ground. Untouched by any cars, it blankets the street. The only other moments serene as this, are when one wakes to a morning drizzle from an outdoor porch, the gentle crackle of a dying fire or watching a loved one sleep. There are so few simple pleasure in life as these. They remind us, well me, that no matter what, life is worth living.
Most people I know do not care about knowing the truth or facts, they only care about being the one who passes along information. I wonder if I could privately ask people why they use social media (honestly), what their reason would be. I don't think people without a sense of humor, realize how much fun the world can be. Even during the hard times. So many of us spend time thinking of mistakes and regrets, but if we really think about it, we've probably dodged more bullets than missed boats. You know when you sit by yourself reading, sipping some coffee or tea and you don't think about anything, but what you're doing? That!
