Winter Wishes

Everywhere I looked today, diamond dust, those sparkly particles that seem suspended in the air when the wind blows the snow drifts around, was so beautiful. As the sun started setting it went from diamond dust to gold dust. Even the most everyday and mundane can be filled with magic. Just have faith like a child. I had to shovel that wonderful powder off my car this morning so maybe some of the wonder wasn’t there…LOL…but I was surrounded by snow and drifts and all I could think about was how much fun I had as a kid playing in it, choosing to walk home from school so I could plop in every drift I could find. I long for that innocence again. So my winter wish is to always maintain a sense of wonder and find joy in the simplest of pleasures. Well, I’m gonna down my second cup of hot chocolate. Heaven and earth can pass away…just don’t take my chocolate. Hey…chocolate!…my wish just came true.
