Just three inches and the world is completely different.
The entire look of your neighborhood. Houses have a softer edge to them. Streets and sidewalks are no longer brash grays and blacks, but a beautifully textured mix of white and charcoal.
Just three inches of snow changes your schedule. You have to get up a little earlier to brush the powder from your car. You have to allow a little more time for your commute. You may have to make entirely new plans if school gets cancelled.
Three inches of snow changes your mood. Snow seems to be one of those polarizing things in life. People generally love it or hate it. Regardless of the side of the coin on which you fall, it's very difficult to ignore it altogether.
So, what is it in your life that changes everything when you get just a little of it? It may be relationships, special time with loved ones, prayer time with God, quiet time, etc.
The events in your life that change the way you see the world are not always obvious, but it's worth taking the time to figure them out. Knowing your day-changing events will help you determine why your mood changes suddenly or why you're "in a bad mood" before your day even begins. And more importantly, it will help you figure out how to get out of those ruts that we all get stuck in from time to time.
Think about it today. Figure out what your day-changing events are. And if you're in the northeast, enjoy the snow!
