December 07, 2012 - Snow

Well, today was the first day in my life that I saw snow. I was in my German class, when a friend of mine said: look Xavier, it´s snowing. I was so exited that I forgot where I was and screamed out loud "yeah...it´s so beautiful." And everyone in class laughed out loud. It feels so unreal to see the snow, I mean I come from a very hot country where the lowest temperature reaches  25°C in winter.
The streets in this beautiful city look so bright and full of life with the light from the stars, the moon, and a tiny, little layer of snow. All this made from the terrible cold something to delight of. It makes you really feel that you are almost in Christmas time, even though I´m not feeling comfortable with the idea of Christmas.
Sometimes I feel like the green guy from the Christmas story..."The Grinch". No good memories of the past, but as someone has told me: If you want a new life, you need to build up new memories.
So this feeling, when I see the snow, reminds me as well (thanks to Coca Cola) of the advertisement which I used to watched as a child...the polar bears looking for their drinks forming a line and just enjoying the moment. Watching the fall of the snow! Right now I´m doing it and for me that is priceless.

Oh, I almost forget to mention that I´ve had my first snow fight with my host family and made my first snow angel. I have to admit, it was a lot of fun. If you have snow, just go out and enjoy it.

It's never to late to have a new dream and you're never to old to start fighting for it!
