the snow was mostly gone, due to overnight rain. i could hear it melting away and turning to slush as the cars drove by early this morning.
i checked, double checked and re-checked the weather report, finally deciding to pack my things and head to work. i had already declared that, "no matter what,
a few hours later, they began to fall. and they were many and they were large and each one stuck to the road, adding a white layer to the world. and for a moment i thought about waiting it out but i remembered my declaration of earlier.
i have a deeply engrained urge to be a hero and to tough out most situations, but today i chose to listen to my heart, so i headed home.
my drive was unadventurous but along the way i prayed quick prayers for those i saw struggling & said encouraging words to the slow car ahead of me
you've got this!
don't slow down too much... just a little bit farther...
nice job!
and when my brain started over-analyzing and thinking too hard, i quietly sang any song that came to mind, notes filling the silence of an empty car and falling snow.
upon arriving home i found myself yelling 'hooray!' & yet i'm still not sure if i was excited to have safely made it through the blizzard of snow, or if i was excited to have listened to my heart.
either way, it was good.
