Snow

Not everyone in the world loves snow like I do!!  I LOVE snow.....it signals a quiet time during the year.  When
everything (including humans) should walk a little slower, take time to ponder the world and themselves, to arise a bit
later and go to bed a bit earlier so they can dream the dreams of answers.  I find answers to all kinds of questions in my dreams.....I try to remember them but sometimes they are just the remanents of a bad day!!  If I remember the dreams with a vivid picture then I know there is a meaning in them and I need to find out what it is and how it pertains to me or any of my life situations.  Answers come from some very strange places, sometimes. 
I have learned in my life on this planet that it is much easier to be a victim than it is to be intelligent.  To try to find answers to problems instead of hiding thy head under the covers; to try to accomplish something even if someone tells you it has been tried twenty times already to no avail; to ask questions even though the answers may not be what you want to hear; to accept those answers that you didn't want to hear and change yourself instead of all those people you think are causing YOUR problems.
I have not found all my answers and I won't until it is time to take my last breath on this earth.  I have alot of searching to do yet.  I search every day.  My grandmother once told me "Life IS as it is SUPPOSED to be.  You just have to find how and why you are living it in that way."  She also left me with a wonderful "suggestion"....."If you face your world tumbling down around you and the total end result is not your death...then it isn't so bad.  You can survive it and overcome it.  Find a way around it, through it, over or under it but DO NOT let it beat you!!!"
My Grandmother, Nora Phillips Hopkins, was the most wonderful woman I knew and my mother, Lucille Ammon Hopkins, came in at a tie!!!!!
