snow what.



Today was the first snow in Ålesund.  Fall is officially over here, and I wasn't too happy about that.  I guess I just wasn't prepared for the cold weather yet.  I didn't even bring an adequate coat.  I've been really grumpy the past few days, and I think it's because of the weather.  For some reason I haven't been able to accept the fact that I'm living in NORWAY and it gets COLD.  But this morning I was sitting in the dining room during my quiet time and as I stared out the window I couldn't believe that beauty that lay before me.  I felt like I was staring at a huge painting, it was almost surreal. And then I realized how blessed I am to be living in such a gorgeous country, with such a gorgeous view. I just need to suck it up and face the snow.  Maybe even embrace it (well, maybe after mom sends me a warmer coat) I'm trying to learn a lesson in contentment these days.
