Life and Love Are About Giving!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 12 secondsI walked at a sluggish pace in the morning slush
Snowblowers were far, and few between as the removal was primarily scrapping the remnants of our first snowfall to the curb.
Passing a man my age diligently sweeping his driveway of snow, I stopped to chat with him.
“I thought we would have snow earlier this season.”
“It could have been worse,” I responded.
“I hope it is the first and last storm, as tomorrow is March.”
It was beautiful watching it fall. Each snowflake is unique and complex, but together, the flakes can cover the ground and, when it melts, provide water for our gardens.“
Wishing my neighbor a good day, I continued my perambulation.
As I entered Hanson Park, I had an epiphany as I looked at the snow-covered wind sculpture.
Jan told me numerous times, “Life and love aren’t about what you gain but what you give.
By sharing Jan’s love, I can help my neighbors; what they gain will improve our community forever.
