Catching Snowflakes

2/4/08

I got to school about 15-minutes early today. Most of the sky was covered with dark clouds. The sky to the South had patches of blue escaping through the gray clouds. It was barely snowing. I did something very un-Tina-like. I sat down on a bench in an open area and waited for class to start. I sat there with these fluffy snow-flakes coming down. I sat quietly. I thought.

I caught a snow-flake in my hand. I looked at it. It melted. I stuck my tongue out and caught a snow-flake. It was wet. I enjoyed the moment.

That was not normal for me. I think I need to set a goal to do things that the current Tina doesn’t do on a weekly basis. Life has been so different and difficult for so long. It is time to take hold and find the old Tina again.
