Ice storms. That's what we get here in our corner of the world.
Despite predictions of a wintry ice storm, I kept my promise to my daughter and her friend, and we headed out for a weekend beach getaway. But Mother Nature, in her fickle way, decided to visit with her lovely icy frosting earlier than anyone expected. We, along with countless others, were caught on the road in the middle of the storm. As we crawled along, passing numerous accidents on the road, we prayed for safety, and I wondered about my decision. But we forged ahead.
Isn't that life sometimes: we make decisions, hit some rough patches, get delayed, question ourselves. There is no rewind button; we must always keep moving along.
As I sit here watching the sun rise and the waves crashing against the shore, it becomes perfectly clear: if we had stopped, turned around, decided against the trip at all, we would have missed out on this amazing gift from Mother Nature.
