If life came with a script

If life came with a script:

I would have known that I would not have had the time alone I was expecting today and done more ahead of time

I would have known that Lauren’s school was going to close at noon thus rendering leaving the house in the morning totally worthless

I would have known that the snow would come, and come it would



I would have known that said snow would be so heavy and wet my arms and back may never recover

and I would know if I would be able to walk tomorrow or not

I would have known that the UPS man delivering my last box of Juicy Juice would get stuck in front our house even though he had chains on his tires

I would have known that I was going to have to schlep out in the snow 4 (make that 5) times to brush off the satellite dish

And I would have known just how beautiful more than a foot of Rocky Mountain Spring snow was going to be

And I would have known how peaceful it would be to go outside alone at 9pm and shovel a couple more inches of snow aching and cringing and grunting set aside

But what fun would that have been? If I had known. I am glad I don't have a script.

Oh Terra.
Good positive ending.
I was feeling so sorry for you.
But somehow you found peace.

The snow is really beautiful but can really throw a wrench in things.
I bet it was really peaceful (if not painful) being out shoveling at night.

Well said, my dear. Love or hate this late-season storm, there is certainly beauty in the unscripted!

Oh no!! That is a ton of snow. I know that there is always a chance we will get a late April snow like last year but I keep hoping we are done.

Take care, and a warm bath!!!

You rock, Terra. Blanketed in snow and all. :)

(It's good reading with wine weather...I'm just sayin'.... ;) )

It sure looks pretty but am happy to be done with snow here. I'm glad life doesn't come with a script either although it might make choosing clothes out a lot easier :)

I just can't imagine me living in all that snow! You handled it so well, without a script!!
