The Art of Making Snow Angels
|
of things past, enjoyment of things present, and hope of good to come ~Harold E. Kohn
My daughter and I made snow angels today. I have never seen
her as content and peaceful as she is when she plays this simple,
old fashioned game. She has found something that she can accomplish at her young
age by herself and she is extremely proud of her accomplishment!.
As adults, we can use these same methods to start a task that we may
have been putting off, or only have half finished. I only hope I can find
the contentment she did in finishing my next task!
-If you fail, try again! So you forget that you are suppose to lay on your back and instead, fall forward on your face. It's okay. Get up and do it again!-It's okay to get distracted. It happens. You lay down to make your snow angel and you hear some birds. You look up and see the pretty clouds. Then you get a little tired and realize the snow feels pretty darn soft. Take a minute to reflect then start moving your arms and legs to make your angel and you'll be focused again! -Admire Your Work! Always step back and look at your angel before you make the next one. I know it's hard not to look for that next clean spot of untouched snow right away, but it's neat to look at what you've done too! -Know when to take a break. It's hard work making snow angels. You want to fill up all the spots you can with them, but eventually it gets cold, and your arms and legs get tired. It's okay to stop and pick up where you left off tomorrow. -Be creative and share your work. Share your snow angels with mom and dad. Ask them what they think and talk about ideas you may have. Hey, you could make sand angels, or maybe it would work in the grass. Mom will know...she knows these types of things... About the Author: |
