MEMORY -
It was a cold winter morning, the kind that inspires a fire and a cup of hot chocolate. During our family vacation in Breckenridge, my brother, Uncle Pete and myself decided to spend some time playing in the snow. We walked to the back of the cabin, carrying our sleds in one hand and our excitement in the other. Pete was a kid again. He seemed to have tapped into a simpler time in his life, putting all thoughts of adulthood on hold. It was good. Good to see the ageless spirit of my Uncle come to life, in the Snow, having fun.
APPLICATION -
I found myself spending a weekend in a snow covered home. New Jersey was over flowing with ice, very different from what I had experienced in Breckenridge. I was introduced to Black Ice ..... By the way, I am NOT a fan! I was amazed at how such a pleasurable thing at one point in my life, was such a un-fun thing at the moment. Walking through the freezing cold, stomping my way through the snow, I close my eyes and remember the good times I had with Peter in similar weather conditions.
REFLECTION -
I see now .... it wasn't the snow I loved in Breckenridge, it was the people I was with.
