For the second day in a row, regular school routine has been disrupted in our household. Yesterday was a delay and today there is no school at all. So for the second day in a row I’ve gone back to bed instead of waking up at 5:30 to get my sweat on.

Still I’ve started off with a good workout – even though my waking up time is later than normal, popping the DVD in and getting my heart rate up remains my first activity of the morning.

It just means my whole day is shifted later, that’s all.

I love to complain about these days, partly because there often seems to be no rhyme or reason for the decision – not quite true, but seems that way. Last year we had 10 “snow” days (if I remember right), and only about 3 of them saw any white stuff at all. This year is shaping up to be the same.

But wait. The black cat just went outside. And she is covered in white flakes, after about 30 seconds. I tried taking a picture but she ran away. Bummer.

Perhaps this is a lesson, if I think hard about it. Life can change fast, whether you’re paying attention or not. If you pay attention, though, you can catch a glimpse of the beauty of white snowflakes on the back of a black cat.

What will you see today?
