Way to make a grand entrance, 2017 begun with great amounts
of snowfalls
blanketing parts of our coastal region what’s not
really typical at all. It all
started through the early hours
of Saturday morning. A sprinkling of delicate
snow covered
the fragile branches of the pine and olive trees, just a few
kilometres from home and not above 300m of altitude.
With the mercury hitting zero, the white blanket coated
our
familiar location making it bright and fresh,
an enticing winter-wonderland.
Fresh, puffy, powdery flakes warned us
of what might happen…
The beginning of a snow storm is one of the most exciting
experiences
and truly unique! My daughter’s sheer enthusiasm
was floating through the air!
Within two or three hours, the snow storm changed all at once
with its thick
winter coat. What a pleasure to hear the crunch
of snow beneath our feet and
feel the most beautiful
white powder falling on our cheeks and blowing over our
hoods.
With my face turning redder and
redder, I pushed myself
out of my comfort zone and brought my cup of coffee
outside,
just to enjoy the snow-saturated atmosphere and the absolute
quiet and
calm that always go along with it.
I blinked my eyes and shook my head!
What a miracle in front of me!
Mother nature cooperated and provided
us
a gorgeous, white day!
So, let there be white!
Close your eyes and dream your
dream
Then all your wishes will be seen…
May the New Year
sparkle like the
snow under the sun,
with endless moments of love and laughter
may your footprints lead you
to the
place you really love to be.
