Someone has been singing that old SNOW song!! We received FOUR FEET last weekend and another TWO FEET of powder this weekend!! The skiiers are ecstatic and the plow operators are planning their vacations to Tahiti or any place warm and without SNOW! It always amazes me the way that humans and even doggies become children again when in the snow. Our old German Shepherd - Elke-Dog was her name - became a pup again when presented with fresh snow. She would leap to the top of a slope, yipping up a storm, and slither down on her back, head first, feet in the air as if she were a pup rather than an elderly, arthritic, 14 year old DOG!
I am not quite that "crazy" - I haven't slid down a hill in quite a while. Too afraid that I will "break something!" Even the skiing, which we did a LOT of not that many years ago, has lost its allure. But it is fun to watch others enjoy what we enjoyed so often!
I did receive several compliments on my ski outfit last weekend. I wore it to shovel snow!! I had designed and stitched it many years ago for a skiing vacation. And it was a YOUNG person doing the complimenting; that made my day! So I guess that I am not "an old dog yet!" when I can get a charge out of a compliment that reminds me of my "younger days!"
Live each day so you never have to look back with regret.
