It truly is a miracle - to me - that I've been able to survive here in Utah. I thought I might die from a million different things as silly as that seems in hindsight.
I believe the Lord blesses me with sunshine in the moments that I need it most. Last week, the weather was absolutely GORGEOUS. I love the sun and how happy it makes me and the people around me. It was so nice to not have to wear a jacket and be able to walk to class without getting pelted by rain or snow on the way there and know that the brightness lasts a little longer with each passing day as we get closer and closer to summer. Sitting on the grass and studying is amazing and seeing all the people as I walk to class makes me jealous and wish I could sit out there too for a little longer.
But of course it all comes to an end in the blink of an eye and Utah decides to revert back to it's winter tendencies and it decides to snow {I'm talking like a flash blizzard or some kind of ridiculous}. But much to my surprise, I've learned to embrace the winter weather like I do the sunshine. That's not to say I like it better, but I appreciate the beauty. I love the snow-covered mountains, hot chocolate, and bundling up with cute scarves, mittens, and headbands. I'm grateful for the time that I have with the snow. And then it needs to move on it's merry little way.
I feel like this translates to a lot in life. I've really tried to take time to enjoy the little moments, to take time to reflect. The sunshine, the snow, laughter, hugs, my car, music, friends, family, technology - just life.
In the end, life is bliss.
