In many areas snow brings the silence of winter. It can be a tremendous time for reflection, contentment, and quiet. Nicholas Sparks said it best in his book, The Notebook: “We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash, and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”
Take some time this season to appreciate silence and embrace a little quiet to collect your thoughts, sit in gratitude, and dream big about the year ahead.
