I felt like doing a few victory dances as well. It seems that I pulled out my cold weather wardrobe just in time. My parka does not look nearly as out of place while snowflakes glide through the air.
This has also done wonders for my mood. I have found it easier to succumb to darker thoughts in this recent time of stress. However, watching snowflakes dance their way to the ground and the scenery start to lighten from its darker hues fills me with a sense of joy and optimism.
I know that many people dread the fall of this "termination dust." For me, these crystalline wonders make even difficult days more bearable.
