The First Snow

So, a few weeks ago, I was taking a stroll to the Bexley Library, when it started to lightly flurry. I don't consider that the first snow because it last all of 30 seconds. But, today, it did indeed snow, and is still snowing. There is nothing like the first snow. It lets you know that things are changing. It's not like a summer to fall change or a spring to summer change, because you can't really decide the exact moment that it has changed. But today, you can tell it's winter. Atleast to me it is, when there's snow, it's winter. I can't believe it is already snowing, by the way. 2 and a half months ago I was in Maryland at the beach on vacation. Now, I'm in Columbus dressing to not freeze to death. It's amazing how the seasons can make you feel different. Summer makes you feel like you have all the time in the world, no hurry, nothing to worry about. Fall let's you know that you need to get back into the groove of everyday activities and responsibilities. Winter makes you feel nostalgic, and it definitley makes me feel lonely, and just want to stay in and read a book all day.

So, my suggestion is, take the time to notice the changes. You might realize you've changed a little too.
