The snow today was perfect....


it was perfect for snow people and sledding, snow forts and snowball fights. It was also perfect for a walk in the woods with my sweet. I am really glad hubby has 4 wheel drive -and that I have wool socks. We were able to make it to church today then go hike in the woods. If we hadn't gone to church I probably could have gotten some really fantastic tree photos but alas by the time we got out it had warmed above freezing and the trees had started to melt.

Since the weather turned cold and icey a few weeks back I had really missed my neighbors but today they were out working on a snow family. Notice how mama made herself somewhat anatomically correct.

It was a good day Monday will start the first full work week in a while- here it comes that time of year when its cold and there is lots of work to be dones so that when spring arrives we are oh so ready for a break. A bit more knitting tonight I think - and a little more reading in one of my nick bantock books (I finally got the second trilogy: the gryphon, alexandria and morning star) as they were on sale at borders. I love his work. I wish I had the time and organization to make such wonderful looking letters and book pages. I'll just enjoy these fabricated ones.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
