A 10 Year-Olds Perfect Snow Day

Do You Live In The Moment? Or Let It Pass You By?....

A 10 years old perfect fantasy. A day off from school to play in the snow. The hot chocolate, the movies, the snowmen and the sledding: what more could a kid want! As most children do, they take it all in, they enjoy every bit of the day and don't worry about what is next on their agenda. They enjoy every moment of the cold, crisp wind making their cheeks fire-engine red and the catching of snowflakes on their tongues without distraction. No phones, no computers, no homework posted online just a day full of fun and relaxation with their friends.

As you get older, the snow days become less about the playing in the snow and enjoying the amazing act of nature outside, but more about laying in your bed scrolling tropical island accounts on Instagram hoping your parents think you're sleeping so they don't ask you to help shovel. We loose the sense of excitement about what is happening right under our noses that we had when we were younger and focus more on places we would rather be.

In life we as people are constantly planning ahead and focusing on the future to the point where we are no longer enjoying what is happening in the now. It is human nature to plan ahead and look forward to things in your life, short and long-term, such as: what is for dinner tonight, what your doing next Saturday, your future job, where you're going to live and maybe even your future husband! With that said, living in the now and appreciating all of the little things this world has to offer is very important. Whether you're taking in the sunset on that hot night in June, enjoying your favorite salad from the little sandwich shop sown the street or putting your phone down while you're at dinner with 5 of your closest friends, lets live life like the 10 year old playing in the snow enjoying his or her perfect snow day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
