we are all snowflakes.


i have so many vivid memories as a child sitting with my great grandmother looking out the window as the snow fell upon the trees.  she loved the winter time and really inspired me to love it as well. we sat at the table drawing pictures of little cottages with white picket fences lined with pine trees.  at the very end we would add the snowflakes...this was my favorite part!

snowflakes have always had a very special meaning to me because of my great grandmother.  they are so beautiful and unique...just like all of us.  we are all snowflakes...we have our own special qualities and details that are unlike one another, that's what makes us so special. 

live your life like a snowflake...take your time to fly freely and enjoy the journey that your on.  don't worry about taking the planned route, instead just flow in the wind and enjoy the ride.
