Love of Snow, Love of Life.


 With the spunk of an youthful child, Mrs. Katherine meticulously flattens out the slushy snow on the hillside of her field.  Hopes of creating a sledding path that will propel her trusty flexible flyer down the slope are restless in her head. 

At 94 years young, Mrs. Katherine still has a passion for sledding in the snow.  As I stand next to her on the hilltop, that has remained the same for over 70 years, she speaks from her heart about the beauty of the snow, blue skies and white capped trees.  With not one single regret in her 94 years, she has an authentic love for life. 

Mrs. Katherine Jennings is truly an inspiration to me and an absolute blessing to this world.  While I begin to give her a good push on her sled, I think to myself, "Maybe we all need to take a little time to find our inner adolescence and let it shine through."
