A White Christmas

As vacation continues, the lovely wife and I find ourselves in Salt Lake for a portion of the holiday season. For the most part we've finished the local shopping and have just a bit more to wrap and place under the tree. As if to reward us for the completion of our tasks, Mother Nature has decided to lay down a layer of snow to cover the landscape beautiful. The weatherman has called for about two inches, let's hope he's right.

The snow is a reminder to me that it takes so little to render what seems dead and lifeless, clean and pure. It also serves to remind me to be greatful that I am herre spending the season with family. While everything certainly isn't perfect and storybook, it is filled with enough love and laughter to cover over the bad spots for a time and to draw all of us into a sense of gratitude and belonging.

Thanks for Reading.
