Winter Wonderland! #magical

It was a magical weekend!  I've never been so excited to stay inside and read a book and watch it SNOW! ....and then sneak outside to explore the magic and get a few pictures.  It was the most beautiful snow (and lots of it) that I've seen in years!  I love it when the world is white!  It's like a fresh start and remarkably brings people together and out of their routine.  Even in the cold and slush I saw more people smiling, talking to each other, enjoying and marveling at the beauty around them and spontaneously helping to move tree limbs and push cars.  Another highlight was singing "Scatter Sunshine" together in Relief Society while we watched the snow steadily pile up, adding to the foot of snow already on the ground.  :)

Scatter Sunshine

In a world where sorrow

Ever will be known,

Where are found the needy,

And the sad and lone;

How much joy and comfort

You can all bestow,

If you scatter sunshine

Everywhere you go.

Scatter sunshine all along your way;

Cheer and bless and brighten

Every passing day;

Scatter (the smiles and) sunshine all along your way;

Cheer and bless and brighten

Every passing day.

Slightest actions often

Meet the sorest needs,

For the world wants daily

Little kindly deeds;

Oh, what care and sorrow

You may help remove,

With your songs and courage,

Sympathy and love.

When the days are gloomy,

Sing some happy song;

Meet the world’s repining

With a courage strong;

Go with faith undaunted

Thro’ the ills of life;

Scatter smiles and sunshine

O’er its toil and strife.
