I woke up the other day to find that 10 inches of freshly fallen snow was waiting for me outside my door. The flakes were still __
36__ heavily too. I didn’t want my little dogs __
37__ in it, so I reluctantly __38__ on my heavy coat and grabbed the snow shovel to make a __
39__. I had only gotten a bit done, however, _
40_ the handle of my old snow shovel _
_41__ with a “snap”. Laughing and shaking my head, I _
42_ to wait out the storm for a while.
It was late in the afternoon when the snow finally
__43__ and I trudged(跋涉) over to my Dad’s house to borrow his shovel and
_44__ again. By then the 10 inches of snow had turned into a foot and a half. I started out slow setting a steady _
_45__ and stopping to rest whenever my back started to ache. After a while, though, the
__46__ finally broke and the sun peeked out to
__47__ me on. The work seemed a lot easier then even though it was still
__48__. I even sang a few Christmas carols and
__49__ while I cleared out the drives, cleaned off the cars, and shoveled out the paths. After an hour of hard work the job was finally done.
_50_, I let the child that still lives _
_51__ of me fall back into the snow and
_52_ a snow angel for the angels in Heaven to see. It felt good walking back to my house after a job well done. It felt even better
_53__ around at this wonderful world of white.
I don’t know why life sometimes gives us spring days and sometimes dumps a ton of snow in us. I do know,
__54_, that we can pray, laugh, love, and choose
_55__ through it all.
