show stopping snow...

i don't stop very well. i don't stop often. my extroverted nature means the chances of me saying no to anyone or anything is extremely unlikely. i always like to do and go and talk. this morning i was awake at 7am....on a saturday...when i could actually sleep til at least 9... Granted i had been asleep for almost 9 hours so my body was completely done with sleep but it doesn't quite stop me from being a little bitter.

then i looked out the window to see a different world. The first real snow of the winter has arrived. The world is covered in white. So i got up fixed coffee and a bowl of cereal to enjoy some time staring outside. Here i sit in my comfy chair (as sienna calls it) with the window wide open watching it snow and just enjoying how beautiful God can make the earth seem with a simple little shift in the weather patterns. Unfortunately i found myself after about 5 mins playing with my phone...checking facebook, reading emails, and looking an article on people.com. As soon as i shifted to checking out scrabble i tossed the phone down in disgust. Why am i distracting myself with stuff when i really just need to stop and enjoy?

the world is quiet and beautiful right now...absolutely nothing is as peaceful as snow. God washes everything in white. so i am going to stop and enjoy for a little while. I want to spend some time being grateful that i have a God who also covers me in white and makes me beautiful....so here i go right now listening to the wind and snowfall while not distracting myself....i want to stop for a little while or at least until i get really really cold and have to shut the window!
