A snow storm is currently hitting the East Coast, and here in Atlanta we are experiencing just the tail of the winter storm dubbed 'Jonas'. It's actually quite wonderful. I always forget how much I love true winter. I wish there was more snow, but seeing big fat flakes falling last night made my heart so happy. I slept so well to the soundtrack of the howling winds. By now most of the snow has melted, but it's still clinging in places here and there where the sun has yet to touch it. And the wind still howls through the trees outside my bedroom.
So that is where I sit. With the curtains pulled back and the winter sun billowing in as I watch the trees swaying back and forth, thinking how strong those roots must be. Imagining all the other winter winds that have pounded at their trunks. And yet here they stand. Winter is beautiful.
