Snowed in

We awoke to brilliance outside our Iowa home.
Throughout the morning, afternoon, and now on into the evening the snow has slowly, steadily, drifted down and covered everything. School has been canceled, party plans have been changed, warnings have been issued.

And I don't really mind.

There is something of substance that drifts down too, the giving in to a power greater than yourself. Letting go of plans you had and embracing what is in front of you. Which, in my case, is a pile of Christmas cards, treats to make, and a hunny who's snowed in with me.

Nope, I don't think I really mind it at all.
