Saturdaze In The Snow

Best day of the week plus best weather condition equals heaven.

Saturdaze In The Snow
Tiffanie Gatch

Saturday is without a doubt my favorite day of the week. My typical work week is chock full of action. Work, gym, entertaining my cat, cleaning my house, etc.

Saturday is for waking up late, eating a big breakfast and laying around. Maybe I'll watch some Netflix, maybe that new Blu-Ray. I may nap or read a book. I can literally do whatever I please. And that's such an awesome feeling.

But, me being me, I decided to hardcore mop and disinfect my floors, vacuum the bedrooms and get that good old fashioned spring cleaning out of the way.

Which wound up being ironic because, when I awoke, a soft dusting of snow was already falling. And an hour later when I ventured out to get a new mop bucket, I was surrounded by soft, gentle flurries that whirled around me as I walked to my car.

And despite the fact that I was inadequately dressed and rather chilly, I had an ear to ear grin on my face.

I love snow. For more reasons than I'll elaborate here. Being from the southern coast means snow is like a Yeti - seen every now and then and questionable at best. It's more like tiny hail. But here in middle Tennessee, it's fluffy, soft, actual snow. And it's the best thing about living in this area.

So, needless to say, this Saturday is even more awesome. And yes, I did make sure to stand in the parking lot while the snow fell and put my hands up into the air and spin around. And I'm sure I looked crazy, I feel certain of that but I have no shame.

Saturdaze are for, I think, being a kid. And in this hectic, stressful adult world, sometimes we just need to be a kid and play in the snow.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
