Wildcard Wednesday

  

So I knew it was going to snow yesterday, but had not a clue that it would actually continue all through the night! I woke up this morning and looked out my windows, and there I saw the ground covered in white. I of course ran back into my bedroom to turn on the TV to see if schools would be cancelled for the day (which would mean no work for this girl) and low and behold, they were! But since I was out sick on Monday, I decided to go into the office anyways to get a few things done. 

YES, I am proud of myself and am determined to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN today! After being sick for four straight days, it made me think about how much time I actually waste doing things that don't matter (or aren't as important). For instance, the time I spend on Pinterest is unreal! I am kind of ashamed of it actually. So I did a lot of think these past few days, and realized that there are so many other things that I could be doing to use my time wisely each and every day. Like creating a binder for blogging and photography related things. Or spending more time training Miller and giving him the attention that he needs.

So I had to start somewhere right? Well, instead of going home yesterday and putting my pj's on and watching TV, I decided to bundle up and take Miller for a nice long walk around our neighborhood...in the snow. And can I tell you how much fun it was?! Seeing Miller's reaction to the snow made me laugh so hard. Yeah it was cold, and I could have been inside doing who knows what, but watching Miller stop and stand still every few steps that he took because he had no idea what the heck was on the ground and falling from the sky just made my day. It's those little things that make life so special. I thank God for giving us little things like snow and pups to keep up company. He is so good, and meets all of our needs and surpasses all of our expectations!! Wouldn't you agree?
