Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

I Love the Snow, it is so beautiful and it makes all the cold weather worth something. It's funny how when it is snowing, I forget about all the things that I don’t like about winter and am just filled with happiness and excitement.

Snow links me back to memories of being a kid, living in Dunedin and on a hill. I remember sliding down the small hill in our back yard. Winters at my grand parents in Central Otago, ice skating outside and going skiing. Spending as long as I could outside in the snow until my fingers and toes were so frozen that I couldn’t feel them. The burning sensation of putting my toes too close to the fire for too long

I love how the snow can re ignite those memories for me and take me back to the awesome happy childhood I had. I’m so thankful for those memories that it sparks. I hope that I never become too grown up to loose my excitement and I hope that I'm never too old to have a snow fight, play in and en joy the snow.

I hope that you all got to enjoy it too : )

Thankful

Maybe it’s due to the fact that I’ve only left the house twice in the last 3 days due to study, so I’m going a little crazy, but Today I am feeling thankful for lots of things.

Even though I’m as nervous as I could possibly be about the exams I have on Thursday and Friday, I’m thankful that the reason I’m so nervous is because what I’m hoping to achieve isn’t just a pass but hopefully the start of my path towards a career that I am so passionate about.

I’m thankful that even though it’s not the nicest day out sitting behind the glass it feels like it’s warm out there too.

I’m thankful that we are only getting closer to summer

I’m thankful for a week with hardly any aftershocks so I can focus on my study

I’m thankful that I got to see my oldest friend who I have known as far back as my memories go in the weekend.

I’m thankful for the friends that make me smile. The friendships that have lasted for some time and the ones which are just beginning to grow.

Today try being thankful for the small things and have an amazing day
