I have always felt like bad weather days are like a free card. Being iced in is like God saying, “Here you go my child, spend this day doing whatever makes you happy.”
No place to be, schedules just crumble and the demands of the outside world cease.
Some of my favorite days.
I still do what I love to do, whether it’s sewing, spinning, knitting or just writing, without things pressing in on me.
But now it’s just so different and the silence of it carries the joy away with it. This empty nest is quiet and it leaves my heart heavy and achy.
The house is still;
No pitter patter of little footsteps, no laughter ringing out from upstairs, no piano playing, music filling the empty corners of our home, no doors slamming from the running in and out, no cuddles on the couch, hunkered down watching our favorite movies . . .
The silence of the outside just spills into our home making the emptiness even more obvious.
They are all grown now, spending this snow day with their own families, making their own memories. They are spending this day doing whatever makes them happy.
He gives snow like wool Psalm 147:16
