transitions

Winter descended overnight and is still shedding her evidence all over town. As we prepare to witness the peaceful exchange of power in our country, the snow is a reminder of a greater truth. There is One who longs to bless, to blanket our days with peace and promises.
Even in the midst of war and conflict and opposing sides, there is hope. And between the snow and the Inauguration, I have 2 perfect excuses to avoid any productive activity and watch TV in my pjs.

Sounds like a plan to me! I'm doing the exact same thing today! Yay for snow days. :)

hmmm - never thought of using the inauguration as an excuse to be non-productive. Now you've got me thinking...

Thats what I did! Got up early to help my husband get off to work and then traded a shower and housework for the couch, big blanket and TV.

I am still in my pj's...and have gotten nothing done....and we didn't even get enough snow to cover our grass (just a few minutes from you..how's that), but it's still a great excuse. :) Thank you and I am using it.

Sounds like we both love our pjs. By the way I love the picture of the berries and snow. It is beautiful. I love snow! It makes me cozy!

Except for 30 minutes of prep for 15 minutes of playing in the snow, it was a pj-clad, anti-productive day here as well.

Hi,
Came across your blog from my friend Betsy's. It's been a great day to just rest and relax! Stayed in my pj's all day, graded papers and watched the inauguration. Love the pictures!

"the peaceful exchange of power in our country"....I love that expression of our democracy. Well said. So many countries aren't blessed to experience that.
