Last night it started to snow. Unlike lots of places in the country, we haven't gotten that much snow this winter...at least not yet. We are supposed to get 5-10 inches over the course of the day, so I'll have some shoveling to do later.
There is special quiet that happens in the early morning when the newly fallen snow is on the ground. The snow acts almost like soundproofing. Everything is just a bit softer and a bit stiller. This morning when I took Sally out for her morning constitutional I was struck by the pre-dawn light and the incredible stillness.
There is something so beautiful about that moment before the entire world comes alive; before that moment when it feels like you are the only person awake in the whole world. I love the morning for that reason. It feels like a fresh start and a new beginning. It feels like I can take a breath and actually pause before the go,go,go of the day begins.
