Observations
I just wanted to put in a quick post to mention a couple of observations I've made.
Firstly, the snow. It is rare for us to get snow where we are. We get hail and rain, but hardly ever snow, and when we do get snow, it very rarely settles. But for the last couple of days it has been snowing and settling. The first observation I have made here is how usless we are as a country. We get a couple of inches of snow and they close all the schools and airports and warn people not to travel unless absolutly necessary.
The other thing I have noticed in relation to snow is that, because it's rare, when people see it, one of two things will happen to them. The will either turn into children, or turn into artists. I myself have tried to turn into both and have coincidentally torn myself apart, wanting to play in the snow but at the same time wanting to leave it and preserve its beauty. Ultimately though, it makes us reminisce.
Lastly I have finally come to understand the phrase "I want to go home." I remember when my Dad was having a bad day he would lie on the sofa saying "I want to go home." I got all confused and said "But you are home." Today, I did the same thing, saying I wanted to go home when I already was. That was when I realised. Home isn't a physical place, it's just somewhere where you feel comfortable, safe, happy, warm and like you belong. That is what home truly is.
Anyway, I'm off now. I start work tomorrow. I'll let you know how it all goes.
Blessed Be
