Hope floats, for only so long.
Happy December!

Upon waking to the whiteness of fresh snow this morning, I was tickled that the new month and the new snow came on the same day, seems like a nice new start.
I've decided that good friends and snow, both of which I like, are quite similar. Over breakfast this morning with an excellent friend, I discovered that friends can give you that clean white slate, that fresh perspective, that unsoiled and yet very much hopeful feeling to your life, much like snow does to our tired, dry and dormant world. Talking to a friend is like waking to new snow, it leaves me feeling that I have a chance to start again with a fresh page for life, that I can love myself despite my flaws and start each day with the hope of doing things right, this time. Friends give you that mercy of whiteness and redemption, of new chances, new changes, new hope, much like the forgiving snow covers all the blandness of your surrounding world with an entirely refreshing image.
Today, I like snow and friends; I'm glad for both.
