Young and old are already anticipating\u00a0the first snow to greet its magical, playful\u00a0 <em>Snowflakes.<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3>The snowflakes ballet is a true joy to watch, a dance of <em>light<\/em> cotton flakes that let our <em>thoughts<\/em> wander to different places: <em>DREAMLAND.<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3>A feeling of no barriers, no worries, and wonderful <em>lightness<\/em>. Snowflakes bring us back to our childhood. The joy of seeing snow-blanket-covered trees, streets, fields, forests,\u00a0 birdhouses, flowerpots, railings, and street signs.<\/h3>\n<h3>To touch, smell and play with snow feels like the first time every time. It&#8217;s a real <em>MIRACLE! Ready for snow angels, sledding, and bringing Mr. Snowman back to life.<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3>Then, there is Mr. Winter Storm, who has a much different personality. Many times so angry and stormy and overextending his visit for weeks. He has <em>bitter-cold<\/em> winds in his knapsack, <em>forcefully<\/em> interfering and changing the tune from snow ballet to snow river dancing. A forceful pounding, blowing the poor little flakes in various directions, creating confusion, drama, and misery.<\/h3>\n<h3>But somehow, we manage what <em>Mother Nature<\/em> is giving us. What choices do we have?<\/h3>\n<h3>KEEP DANCING!!!<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 576px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video
