Beauty Everywhere

I woke this morning to a fresh blanket of snow.

I found myself longing for spring,

for life,

for warmth,

for beauty.

I took a drive.

I needed a remedy for the winter blues,

the gray skies,

the bleak mood that creeps over me this time each year.

I think I found it...

beauty everywhere...

I console myself...

spring always comes...

birds will sing again...

everything will be new again...

In the meantime, I will breathe deeply,

wait patiently,

and learn what this season wants to teach me.

There is beauty in the "grayness",

joy in the "bleakness",

peace in the stillness.
