Nor’easter Day

At some point in December, JT and I reminisced about snow days from our past, days when school was closed because of snow and we were home together as the storm passed through.  There was sleeping in, card games and TV watching in those days.  We’d play in the snow, JT always lasting longer than me because someone had to go inside and start the hot cocoa.  At night, we’d go for walks in the snowy darkness, to listen to the quiet and celebrate the found time.  Early this Winter, we looked forward to a few last snow days in this, his Senior year.

Mother Nature never cooperated.  Though we had plenty of cold and some snowy weekends, there was never enough weekday snow to give us the day off.  As January transitioned into February, JT and I began to fear we’d not have our last snow day.  We were loathe to give up the transition and so we declared today our very own snow day.

There was a rainy, windy, and wet Nor’easter, but this one didn’t bring snow.  We slept in, went out to lunch, and watched Netflix.  We enjoyed one another’s company and laughed a lot.  I lived in the moment, because that’s what I need to do these days.  The moments were fun and that’s happy!
