Beautiful Blessings in Snow

I live in Texas and while snow isn't unheard of here, it certainly isn't the norm. I used to live near the Great Lakes and became quite accustomed to regular heavy real snow. It's funny to me when the world shuts down because of 4 inches of snow; but I'm thankful. I get to spend this snow day at home on a miniature vacation and take care of mundane things and catch up on reading and leisurely write a post for my blog about the snow.
