Gorgeous golden hue
The camera just doesn't do it justice!As I walked to class this morning, after a brisk night that covered the layer of ice with a nice layer of powdery fresh snow, I kind of zoned out while Libby and Brad talked about fishing. Now I love fishing, but these two...they live to fish. And they have so many fish in their freezer that their apartment now smells like fish. So as they talked about it and I remembered the fact that I left home exactly two months ago from today, I couldn't help but think that life...is kind of like walking on the snowy/icy ground below. You can be too timid and shuffle your feet, hoping never to lose your grip, catching your breath in your throat when you feel even a margin of your foot slip, and tensing your stomach muscles and shoulders as you walk along. All of this of course while keeping your eyes pointed downward, completely oblivious to what is going on in the world around you. Or you can confidently walk with your head high, not watching the ground, taking giant bold steps and having faith that your $80 hiking boots are going to live up to their name and brace you
in even the slickest of spots. Or, you can be like Brad and run and try to purposely slide as far as possible across the foot bridge all with utter confidence that you will still be standing on your own two feet after accomplishing such a slide. I have to admit that I am a timid walker, but that's going to change!!

walking on snow/ice
You can walk boldly, you can walk timidly, or you can run and slide... but just think about this little sister... EVEN if you fall... it is how graceful you are when you slip and fall and how quickly you can get your ass back up that matters. Learn how to handle the pain! And take it with a smile! I LOVE YOU!
