ah. finally. relief. there is almost nothing better than waking up to piled up snow still falling outside. i jumped for joy when i looked out the window this morning. (and you think i'm exaggerating.)
this is perfect. even though i don't really have a home to stay at tomorrow (because of this), i really am so grateful. for everything i have. and i know everyone does those obligatory thanksgiving blog posts listing what they're thankful for, (like you can even really express something that you're truly thankful for in one or two words--not possible), but i'm thankful for this moment. for sitting next to my open back door and letting the cold wash over me in my pajama pants and sweatshirt and hat and imagining what the snowfall sounds like and watching birds sing in the snow-covered boughs and the white sky just waking up and the fireplace going and my dog panicking in the suddenly wonder-washed world and it's magnificent. being alive is magnificent, because of moments like these. (what? thanksgiving posts are supposed to be super cheesy, aren't they?)
even though i most likely won't have a home for a little while.
