Outside and here I am blowing on my hands for warmth hoping that will be enough until I get back to the car.

I didn’t want to be out today but this was the first snow of the season and all my friends had come out today.

Besides the cold, the snow-covered grass and trees brought back great memories of when we were all in middle school and would meet up on snow days and play until we were too cold or our parents came to collect us.

Those were the carefree days and sometimes I wonder now as an adult will ever have more of those days.

Or will my joy only be watching my kids experience it now? To see the wonder in their eyes as they play in the cold until I call them in to warm up.

Winter is

in the air as I stand out in the field, loving this place I call home.

Even though winters here are brutal, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

I know everything about this place and all that there is to see and feel and experience, but each season always brings me something new to see and feel and remember.

Just another

day in the snow trying to make it to the car after walking through it all.

When I hear someone call my name and up I look to see who it could be and in hope they are not  too far away for it is quite cold out here today.

And I rather be inside with a hot drink and a blanket as I have done all my errands and now I can enjoy what’s left of this snow day for me.

And I do hope the snow doesn’t come back around anytime too soon as I am okay with the cold but the snow is where I draw the line unless it keeps me from going to work.

I can’t

Believe my eyes as I watch the snow fall down and I hope it stops soon.

And it does but it leaves behind traces that it was here.

The air is colder than it was yesterday making me want to stay in bed and not get up.

I don’t want to face the reality that it’s all going down no matter what we do even if we do it all together.

Falling

down yet again is the snow

bring more cold with it and

then it freezes and the chances of slipping

becomes more likely to happen.

The beauty of the snow falling is overlooked now as winter has stayed too long.

The desire to stop having to layer up is so story you might just want to take a trip just to warm up for more than one day.

Will you fall soon or will the snow and ice melt away before you have to go outside again.

It was

a cold day that lead to a day of snow and staying inside.

 With no worry about having to go anywhere because yesterday was all about stocking up and relaxing afterwards.

Today is a day of new possibilities all from the comfort of ones home and you have no care to go out.

Besides cleaning off the car and sidewalks and then back inside the warm house you go where all you want to do is drink hot things and eat hot or warm things and simple not worry about the things to come this week.

This day is all about not freaking out or stressing out  and to finally take your life back into your own hands.

And it feels good and you are trying so hard not to let doubt in for that really takes the fun and determination right out the window.

Today is going to be a good day because you said it was going to be and you do believe it will be.

So don’t let today get away from you because we all know tomorrow is not promised.

I can’t

see you anymore as the snow starts to come down faster as the minutes pass.

It’s hard to keep following you as the whiteness of your coat fades and blends into the surroundings.

I try to look down and follow your footsteps in hope that I am not moving to slow and soon your path may be covered up again.

I try to stay calm as the coldness and wetness of the snow is soaking into my coat and warmth I once felt in my gloves and boots no longer exist.

I hope that I can get back to the cabin before I freeze to death, I know that you are angry with me but I hope I make it through this storm to see your smile again.

just don’t seem to want to come out of me right now as I sit here wonder where my day has gone.

So easy but difficult as what started off as a nice cold morning as usual turned into a snow falling slowly but, soon roads a mess.

To seeing those in there tiny cars try to make it somewhere and realize when it is too late that their car just isn’t the right automobile to be out on the road.

Risking your life for what a joyride in the snow when most places are closed and others just have staff stuck inside.

Who made the decision that this was the day to come out and play around, wrecks everywhere and closed downs everywhere because it just sad how little we think of other’s life until it is gone and then the guilt will eat you alive.

Daily Prompt: Invisible

Today I so wanted to be invisible so that all the annoying people couldn’t ruin my supposedly quite day.

No place to hide even though that’s all I wanted to do.

Keep a low profile and get through this already long day.

Not wanting to come in today, just wanted to stay in bed.

But, that didn’t happen and I don’t know what to expect tomorrow.

But, hopefully I can try to be invisible again and this time no one will see me as I creep around in the background.

In peace with a smile on my face and not a frown.

The holidays always make me so jolly.

I love the Christmas music and the Christmas movies.

It just lights me up inside like all the Christmas lights that are up.

I shine like the star on top of the Christmas tree.

So unique and just so silently shining

So bright this season.

There is just something magical about this season and holiday.

The happiness is all around and sometimes in places and people you never  expected.

The tight

grip on my heart as the sad feeling of life is changing

and even though I’m going in a great direction.

There are things that feel like I’m leaving them behind

and that makes me feel so sad.

Some things have made such a big impact that letting them fade away

just seems so hard but the truth is they are already disappearing, anyway.

I don’t want to let go, but it’s so hard to walk away and give up on something I have

yet to finish.

I’m finding myself even when I have to the time to not even want to hold on or try because it’s not the right time or I just don’t want to.

But, I know sooner or later I’m going to have to make a decision and I just don’t think I’m ready for it now.

Maybe next week or a month from now but in the end I will have to walk away and find something else to full my time with.

Not every goal or dream is something worth holding on too in the end.

Honestly

As the words left my mind and got to you

I felt free and at peace but a little nervous.

But, now I feel like vines have started to grow and a wall is coming up.

Letting no light in and all around me is darkness.

The garden that was my safe haven is now all dead and freeze.

As the snow falls down all around me until I’m buried.

Will spring come and melt my troubles away or will I always be this way.

Cold with no care in the world as everything slowly passes me by.
