A Winter of Wonder

     It is about time I put some thoughts on paper instead of guarding them in my head. The other day I was dwelling on the idea of a life being made up of seasons, realizing I was definitely in winter. When I was a little girl growing up in Illinois, I did experience some harsh winters, but like any little person I made the winter days into winter wonderlands. Jack Frost did not bother me. Falling down in the snow offered me the challenge of getting up. Being splatted with a snowball gave me the opportunity to throw one back.
     What is the point I am making? Just this. I need to make each day a wonderland. If I am knocked over by negativity, I get up. If I get the cold shoulder from someone, I don't react. What I am saying is that one must regard his/her winter season as an opportunity to bring sparkling joy to each moment. See the sun of your attitude melt the icicles threatening to take away your warmth.Get up, spread joy, laugh when you fall down. Who cares if someone throws a barbed snowball in your direction. Each moment is like a perfect snowflake, filled with beauty, opportunity and love. Rejoice in the winter wonderland that only you can make.
