Initially, the day began with Grey clouds,  snow falling lightly,  almost whimsical through a frost chilled air.  I dragged myself from bed earlier than normal and embraced the dreary day ahead.

Checking my cell I saw I had a full hour of sleep to have before my alarm went off.  I blinked several times at my flat screen still on but in sleep mode.  My local cable provider’s logo bouncing from diagonal to diagonal.

I reached for my cell and texted my baby I’d be over soon.  After breakfast and morning exercise, I was set on staying in all day. That all changed when the sun beamed into the room at high noon.  We decided then and there to be adventurous and embrace the day and weather.

The snow-covered sidewalks yielded some melting and clear paths as the sun shone in its strength.  Pausing to take in the glory of God, I snapped these shots.

To be able to actually capture these fleeting moments for posterity, I felt truly blessed to be alive.  Best day had in a long time.
