In the Bleak Midwinter

Here we are gathered around the fireplace watching round two of the mega storm that is passing through town. The snow is lovely and even though I killed off my snow blower and back trying to clean out my driveway this morning, I am still delighted. I never seem to feel sad or disappointed by snow, unless I am out driving in it and then I become frightened and hysterical, probably because of the accidents that I have had during bad weather. Regardless, I love the snow and the snow days and even playing in the snow. I see myself snowshoeing later today, traveling a small circuit around my neighborhood. I love how quiet the outdoors is during and after a snow fall. It is peaceful and calm and somehow quiets my inner spirit.

 I will share with you today a song that is a great favorite of mine, I have sung this myself in the past, but I love Sarah McLachlan's version. Her smooth silky voice makes me feel as if an angel is singing this song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
