I awoke one morning to see a smooth blanket of snow – and the child within stirred.
Grabbing my camera, boots and coat, I headed outside to capture the pristine views.
Snow, to me, represents: crispness, re-energizing, rejuvenating, and purity…a clean slate.
I found the cold crisp air invigorating. I hesitated… excitement and indecision battled within…for taking that first step onto the snow is a commitment – and taking the first step forever alters the view.
I took one slow deep breath, and stepped forward.
As I walked and snapped photos, I noticed that the same old area had been transformed into a beautiful wonderland.
I had become so absorbed that I hadn’t realized how long I had been out there…until I suddenly couldn’t find the shutter button – my ungloved hands had become numb. And I was elated!
I see the New Year the same way as a fresh snow day – and I approach it the same as that first step into the snow.
The New Year represents to me a pristine clean slate – offering each of us unlimited possibilities for the newest year.
I wish you each the joy of taking those first steps into 2010; creating, exploring and enjoying the adventures as you journey through your year!
Happy New Year!
