Seeing past the snow...

Here is what I woke up to on Saturday morning...
and more of it showed up on Tuesday!

And here is what I saw out of our South living room window...

that pretty robin is building a nest on our neighbors' utility box.
It kind of made my day! :-)

Do the little things you see in your life bring you joy? 

For me they do.

Some examples:

When I hit every green light on my way to somehwere...

When I get a new email...seems small...but I love it!

When I have a good hair day!

When Jason brings me home a rootbeer...just because.

When I see a great picture.

Life is what you make of it...this is true.

Be observant and you will see all the great things you may have overlooked...all of the small items in your life that you have rushed past, try it and see what you have been missing.

Blizzard 2010

"Snow for the taking!! Free to a good home!  Far away from here!!"
We had issues getting out of the front door...

Notice my snowbuggy in the background...Jason and I scooped out our driveway, his shovel broke near the end, so he had to use mine then... :)  I went in and made dinner!

Our street...

Ahhh...the joys of winter in Iowa.
