Because I'm in love.

I’m seeing the first signs of daybreak. A sky that’s beginning to show light. I can still see the mostly amber artificial lights across the lake. And a moon trying to break through the haze. And my neighbor to the south has a light on. Also, the ground and the lake have a white blanket. Snow. Snow. Snow everywhere. The trees are forming silhouettes. With white-topped branches. A little like a winter scene out of Dr. Zhivago. Makes me appreciate living in Minnesota. A winter wonderland. Come to think of it. Doesn’t matter where I am. I appreciate life. Because I’m in love. –Jim Broede
