Five Reasons Why I Absolutely Love Winter...
1). Hot Chocolate. Hands down. I drink the stuff like most people drink coffee. But now I don't get funny looks like when I am hugging my thermos in mid-July.
2). The stillness the snow brings. Sure, moving the stuff after it has partially melted feels a whole lot like shoveling the world's largest slushee, but when it is quiet it feels like the whole world is holding its breath, and waiting for something spectacular to happen. I love it.
3). Ice melt. It is winter fairy dust. ^_^
4). Snow falling across lamplight in the dark. It's just pretty.
5). But the reason I love winter best is everyone seems to change a little bit more during this time of year. Maybe it is the thought of family and kindness, but it makes any toss-up of downsides and leaves them in the dust. And that is totally worth me not feeling my fingertips until April. :)
I drink Hot Cocoa like people drink coffee too!! I have to have at least 1 cup every day all year round!
ReplyDeleteWinter out west is so much prettier than the winter in PA...Here there is pretty snow for 10 minutes...and then massive amounts of slush.
