and I didn’t freak out

We went for a walk, and it was sort of drizzling a bit. When we got to the corner, Keno was waiting, and he and Max started to play. As we stood and watched them, it was misting more – and there was snow mixed in. My stomach fluttered a bit, and then I made a conscious effort to relax. I know – in my head – that the ground isn’t frozen, that it’s only gone below freezing a couple nights, that any snow that falls will melt before it hits the ground. That helped a lot. I know it’s coming. I know I can’t stop it. I can spend my energy worrying about it. Or I can enjoy each day as it comes.

And I feel pretty darned good about not freaking out today!
