Last night I went for a walk, which in one way, isn't out of the ordinary. I've always gone for walks. I love walking. However, never being a winter person and rather, a hater of the cold and snow, the concept of taking a relaxing stroll out in the small blizzard that ensued was astonishing. Nevertheless, I braved the weather, left campus, and didn't regret it for a second. Dare I say that it was warm out? Snow does not have to equal cold, and last night was genuine proof of that. I made a round of the town, then realized that I was so excited to go outside that I had forgotten a toque. I made my way back to the school, not ready to risk my health only a week away from my singing groups first performance. I snagged a toque and left the campus before I got too comfortable and chose to stay indoors. Again, I didn't regret my decision to go back outside. Backtracking on a few roads on the outskirts of town, I noticed my footprints had already been whisked away in the five minutes since I left them there, and in their places were small drifts. There was no evidence of my presence on these roads just minutes before. I love that. Sometimes alone can be good. Silent solitude. Just me and the snow. Who would have thought that there are so many different kinds of beautiful? I finally opened my eyes to the joy and beauty of winter, and I'm satisefied. Life is good.
