It doesn’t snow often in Eastern North Carolina. Today is one of those exceptional days. . I can’t remember exactly when it last snowed, but it seems at couple of winters ago.
When it snows here, it becomes almost like a holiday. We are not really adept in navigating around. So we tend to just stay home.
It hasn’t always been this way for me. I lived in Oklahoma for 12 years and saw plenty of snow. I can even remember one year there, I did not see the pavement on my street for six weeks. You could not afford to shut down or you would probably die.
This morning I got up around 5:00 AM and the snow was just staring to come down. The worst was I 
awoke about a 100 miles from my office. I just decided to stay put. I think I’ll fight my way back tomorrow.
I did get to watch the inauguration, something I may not have done if I had gone to the office. I watched history develop. May God’s blessings be upon our new President.
All in all, it has been a nice unexpected pleasure. I think we need to take advantage of unexpected pleasures when they “fall”.
