take time for winter

the last few days i have had
the wintertime blues.
i've been complaining about the continuous cold,
rolling my eyes at the never-ending snow,
and dreaming of warm spring days. (which should be here!!)

and then i decided,
rather than mope around wishing for the sunshine,
i should take time to enjoy the moment.
find beauty in this season.
so i know winter is almost over,
but i ask you, in it's final stretch,
take time for winter.
it will be gone before we know it.

what will you take time for today?

take time for a new start

a new year,
new resolutions,
new dreams,
a new sun rising over a cold winter morning.

this week take time for a new start.
make some plans, write down some goals,
and take a photo of your new start.
(it will be your first photo in your take time album! excited?)

let it snow

today i:
scraped snow off my car
shoveled snow off my driveway
played in the snow with my kids
watched my dog play in the snow
built a snowman with the snow
shoveled more snow off my driveway
tried to get my son to stop eating snow
tried to warm up my son's hands after eating snow for twenty minutes
watched snow fall and fall and fall

do you have snow at your house?
what is your favorite little snow or winter activity?
