Maybe its because I grew up in Utah, where we’re known for our good snow. Maybe its because my birthday is in December, and I’ve always linked snow to great, exciting things, like my birthday celebration and Christmas. Maybe its because snow feels so peaceful to me, it always has. I’m not sure what it is exactly, but snow is good for my soul.

The last few days we have been getting near-constant snow. To be able to look outside and see the glorious, white and sparkly magic sticking to the grass and making me squint because of its beautiful brightness is such a wonderful form of therapy for me. Its special and calming. I feel good when there is snow outside.
