Life is but a second from Change!

I woke up this morning to find our region blanketed by lake-effect snow. Was I ever surprised since the evening news made no mention of a winter snow advisory.

So the first thing I did was get dressed to go shovel my driveway, which is 24 feet wide by 30 feet long. By my estimates, the snow was about 10 inches on average. This equates to 600 cubic feet of snow that I had move around. I was not a very happy camper considering it was still windy and cold.

There is a saying in Northwest Indiana, if you don’t like the weather wait 15 minutes.

Out of no where, the sky cleared and the sun appeared. The warmth of the rays made the entire subdivision come to life. I could hear the kids joyfully having fun with the first major snow fall of the season. Even the neighbors with snow blowers began to pick up their pace and laugh about all the fresh powder that would most likely be nowhere to be found in a couple of days.

At the end of my unexpected workout, I also found a smile on my face with the thought of how my 3 year old son would react to his first anticipated snow fall. It was at that point that it occurred to me that life is but a second from change.
