The Surprised Gasp: “Oh!”
Give yourself a jolt that says, “Oh hey look it’s snowing! Wow. Time moves quick, huh?! Life is full of wonderful little surprises!”
The “It Takes My Breath Away” Coo
Think about majestic wonder as you say this: “Ooooh, snow is soooo beautiful. It’s shimmering. It is really really pretty and soooo cold. I’m going to make some cocoa. With teeny marshmallows! And wrap my fingers around the mug! Oh my gosh, it’s sticking to the trees! Look at that! That’s fucking magical. Coo.”
The Ponderer’s Murmur: “Hmm.”
“Hmm. Y’know it just makes me think. Like about life and the meaning of it all. I’m an artist so I kind of feel the snow. I mean I get snow. Not everyone gets it, but I do. I really just get things. I’m super deep. There it is.”
The Classic: “Ahhh.”
Let out a long slow exhale. “Snow has a sort of timeless quality doesn’t it? It’s a very classy form of precipitation. Very J. Crew.”
The French Boff aka The Modern: “Pfffff.”
“Oh is it that time again? Well life is a spinning wheel of repetition and then we die but I guess I’ll make some mulled wine.”
For every snowfall, and every personality, there is the right sigh to set the mood. So whether you’re a happy go-lucky gal, a moody thinker, or a wistful artist, don’t forget to let everyone know that you’re taking it all in.
