| From the last big snowfall we had |
For example, when a Facebook friend posted a "ha ha ha, we don't miss the snow now that we live in South Carolina" message, I was able to reply with a witty meme of Jennifer Aniston blowing raspberries.
Just think, a mere 20 years ago, this would not have been possible. Don't we just live in the best age ever?
In the old days, I would have witnessed her glee only if she sent me a Christmas card with one of those "what the family has been up to this year" letters in it. There's nothing like Facebook for up-to-the-minute hold-the-presses updates on everything going on in life. (You'd miss my entertaining comments, I'm sure.)
As I pumped gas yesterday morning, I had the opportunity to look around and admire the fluffs of snow alighted on branches and swathed across rooftops and fields. It was a pretty sight. (Admittedly, it helped the roads were clear and it wasn't blisteringly cold.)
I wondered if I'd miss wonderland visions like this if I lived in a warm climate year 'round.
Probably.
Also, I'd have some other natural act of contrition to deal with. Hurricanes or forest fires or scarcity of water.
We all have our stuff.
So I guess once again, I'll adopt my one-day-at-a-time attitude, keep an eye on the weather conditions and take it as it comes.
The latest word is, we may have a white-ish Christmas. And I'm going to be home all day anyhow.
So, let it snow.
And Happy Holidays to all my friends (including Kate, who understands my snarky sense of humor).
May your days be Merry and Bright.
We certainly have earned it this year.
