First Snow

For the first time this month, the weather man was right – we got a snow storm!! There’s something so nice and fun about the first snow. It’s pretty, it’s cold, it’s different, it’s new….

I think that’s kind of how all things in life are. The first time you do something or see something, it’s amazing. Then every time after that it loses a bit of it’s magic. Sometimes if you take a break, the magic will re-appear. But sometimes, it just takes some effort to find the beauty in things again, whether it’s the 3rd time or the 500th time.

It amazes me how quickly things can go stale. Whether it’s a friendship or a talent. A personality trait or a relationship. If we don’t pay attention to things on purpose, and find the good and freshness daily, we may let the magic disappear and one day wake up wondering what we ever were thinking in the first place.

Looking for a “fresh” new years resolution? How about this. Try and keep the magic in life. I promise, it’ll be a goal worth reaching for.
