Friday at work, I decided to go crosscountry skiing Saturday. The snow has been calling my name.  We have bless with all this snow.  In years past, I put off going until I'd have the time. Then the snow would  melts. This is why I have decided to make the time.  I want to get out and enjoy life more. Use it more wisely.  Well after work, a friend of mine wanted me to go with her to look at a different car.  So Saturday, I went with them. I didn't get back until dark. I enjoyed the time with them but my plans were changed.  So today, Sunday, I got up before the sun. The air was crisp, the wind was still.  I layered my clothes and out I went.  Snow was still on the trees and the sky was overcasted.  You could see a haze coming off the ground.  I felted great.  The fields near my house were untouched and looked like a white sheet.  As I went further, I could see tracks in the snow. Rabbits, Deer, and other animals.  I was hoping to see some of them.  The sun was just coming over the hill and the cloud were clearing.  I knew that I  had things to do at home and  it  wasn't  going to get done with out me. Dishes to do and laundry.  Years worth of paper work to reduce. But I wanted put these thoughts down.  A new Year, a fresh start,  like every day we have in our lives. I'm glad I had this day.
