The calm before the storm

One of my favorite things about Utah are the couple of days before a really big snow storm or rain storm. It just feels different. Today was one of those days. I walked out of my apartment and everything was quiet and still. It was almost as if the air was frozen because nothing was blowing. I had to stop and smell everything around me. I even had to say a quick "thank you prayer" to Heavenly Father for this beautiful moment.
I started thinking about how crazy life has been lately and how I need to enjoy the "calm" moments in my life. My life has very few "storm" moments lately and I need to enjoy it while it lasts. One of the things that calms me down the most is a rain or snow storm. I just love watching it all fall from the sky.
What helps calm you down?

oh hi again... now I had to comment on this one too, because last week I said THE SAME little thank you prayer!
Ok, it was probably a little different, but it was the same thing--my breath was almost taken away as I walked outside!

Now here's the OTHER thing I didn't know about you... you still live in Utah? You should come over for dinner!
