The first snowfall of the season has lifted me into a comforting mood of solitude. A winter wonderland before winter officially begins. An interlude between Thanksgiving and Christmas. A snowstorm that feels like the calm before the storm.
No place to go, no reason to search for one. Books on the table, leftover turkey in the refrigerator, firewood in the wood box, jigsaw puzzle laid out.
No power outage to halt computer messages or the TV from blurting out breaking news. Ah, but I can always push the OFF button for all three-- silence, solitude and simplicity.
