For all my friends, you had to know this was coming. My rant on snow. Haha! I stood in my doorway this morning, wearing jammies & slippers, shaking my fist at the snow. Again?! it's snowing again?! But I thought I should explain myself...
My birthday is March 7. If you know me at all, you know that this is a very important day for me. In my younger years, this was selfish... "a day all about me!" But since my 19th birthday a few things have changed. See on my 19th birthday, I went to the doctor. I thought I had cancer. She told me I was pregnant. Life has never been the same. I walked into that office a child, and came out an adult.
So I have learned that if I don't strive to make my birthday an exciting, fun time... It can easily become a very introspective, almost sad time. That was a very emotionally traumatizing day for me, as you can imagine, to walk out of that office being expected to tell my mother, father, brothers, boyfriend, and pretty much the rest of the world how BIG of a mistake I had made. Now, God's grace covers my multitude of sins. Have no fear, I do not dwell in that shame. But every year it does cross my mind... A lot.
So please understand that while I LOVE the beauty, peacefulness, and significance of a snow fall... I need a little sunshine on March 7. I need flowers poking through the cold ground. I need to see the new life of spring that reminds me of all that comes AFTER the long, hard winter is over.
Plus, one year my birthday party got cancelled because of a snow storm & it was completely heart breaking. Haha! But mostly because of all that other stuff.
