As cold as it gets, I find the snow to make for beautiful , scenic photos... especially after the snow first falls, and it's all so white and pretty. Did I just say that? ;) Snowflakes rushing at my van's dashboard, or floating and blowing in the wind look like they're dancing and having fun. Maybe God is just trying to keep us entertained- never knowing what weather to expect next. He knows Wisconsinites are tough! :)
So, this winter, I choose to focus on the positive, bright side- we'll appreciate warmer temps MORE when they arrive, we've spent more family time together, we had our streets plowed in a timely fashion, and we gained many new ideas from Pinterest about our interests/hobbies, and have had more time to read and/or write. So very thankful for the internet and for Facebook, so we could continue to stay connected with the outside world!
Being shut up more often than not indoors, we have done more movie-watching, more baking, and more relaxing down time, which has been a plus. I have to say I admire the brave ones who venture out to exercise in this inclement weather. I prefer sitting indoors with my hot apple cider. :)
As the New Year 2014 progrresses, it will eventually get warmer, the snow will melt, and this winter will be a distant memory. So grab your favorite cup of coffee or tea and relax... Monday, March 31 is Brewers Opening Day. Get those grills ready- it will soon be here!
