It's only just begun...

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Winter, but seeing as how I live in Canada there is no escaping it! So, before Winter began this year I told myself that I would embrace the icy roads, cold weather, and dark, snowy days because there is nothing I can do about it...complaining about it or being annoyed won't change it, so just embrace it!

So, I did. I embraced the -45 degree temperatures while I was walking to and from the train each day, I embraced the snow blowing in my face and freezing my eyelashes to my skin, and I embraced my cheeks feeling like they are literally being burnt off my face by the freezing cold wind.

Lately the temperatures have been a bit warmer and I am grateful for that. But, I will admit that today I really didn't feel like embracing the cold snow blowing in my face and no matter how badly I want the sun and heat to be here, this cold and snowy season has only just begun!

On a brighter note....I really do love the beauty of fresh fallen snow, I love feeling cozy on a cold evening under a blanket with hot chocolate, and I love looking forward to SPRING!

Now, back to embracing....

I admire the attitude and the resolve to "embrace" the cold. I can't say that I will ever get to that but it is a good way to live your life. Thanks for the example.

I am totally with you! I hate winter and every winter dream of moving somewhere tropical. Sooner it will be over...soon....
