Joy Dare 2013 - Day 21

A Gift in Sky, Water, Memory

1. A Gift in Sky
The only thing I saw in the sky today was snow. And honestly I don't really think of it as a gift because I don't really like it. It is cold and it makes driving tricky. I prefer summer. The pool. Being hot.
But...snow means that I live in a climate that has seasons. And seasons are a gift.
The first time you can go out without a coat.
The first time you can wear shorts.
The first time you need a sweatshirt.
Those firsts wouldn't exist without seasons.
So in a way....snow is a gift.

2. A Gift in Water
The ice in the glass of water I drank after my run tonight.
A nice refreshing gift.

3. A Gift in Memory
The memories of when all 3 of my children were born are definitely memories.
The delayed arrival of my first born.
The surprise early arrival of my second born.
And the the attempted early arrival of my third born that turned into an extremely long wait. That's a story for another time.
Definitely gifts in my memory.
