As the snow is falling-

I just love the feeling of a first snowfall.   Although, today with the recent events of the weekend I felt compelled to share something that I read.  As I see the snow falling outside my window, I can't help but think of all of those left behind and not having the chance to play in the snow with their little ones.  As all of our hearts are going out to all those involved in this horrific tragedy,  I think we all held our loved ones a little bit longer...

"Now is the time ...
Now is the time to look into their eyes until they succumb to sleep.
Now is the time to say 'I love you' so many times you lose your voice.
Now is the time to hold them until your arms grow tired.
Now is the time to laugh until your belly hurts.

Now is the time to listen and absorb every silly, tender word.
Now is the time to memorize every smile.
Now is the time to think thoughts of gratitude until you account for every blessing.
Now it the time to perceive ordinary moments as gifts.
Now is the time to live in THIS moment.
Now is the time; now is the time.
Because you just never know what’s about to come your way."

May these words become actions in honor of those experiencing unimaginable loss and pain today.
