learn to love winter

We are so in winter but I haven’t really been able to think about it because I’m too busy. I did get a cord of wood and I’m loving fires in the fireplace.

It’s NOT winter yet. I can keep telling myself but the blanket of snow and bad roads are not helping. I will be sure to dress properly for this.

I’m still enjoying autumn but the weather is much more winter-like. I’m dressing properly for it and I felt sorry for the people who were only wearing sweatshirts yesterday. I was cold just looking at them. I have learned the importance of dressing properly for the weather and here that means dress like an eskimo.

I’ll work on this goal in the winter. For now I’m focusing on differentiating autumn from winter. I’m really enjoying my autumn and I’m going to hang on to that feeling until autumn is really over. One thing I know will happen is that winter will seem shorter to me. That’s one of my largest problems with winter is that it lasts too too too long. Even if it’s in my mind and I feel like it’s shorter it will make a huge difference on my attitude.

It’s to be most unseasonable warm today and I have a major impulse to take advantage and hang out Christmas lights.

I’m ready for this goal this season. Focusing on it last year really helped me through it and I’m off to a better start this year. I’ve really enjoyed autumn and made the most out of it. I know it’s not officially over it just feels that way. Daylight Savings Time starts today. Made a new goal to get up earlier and go to bed earlier. Holidays are very close. It’s only three weeks until thanksgiving. I’ll dive into this and enjoy it and try to enjoy the weather that comes with it.

Really been ignoring this goal. I enjoyed every minute of our beautiful summer and this is the first year I’m making a point to enjoy autumn. Usually autumn depresses me because it’s the first sign of winter being around the corner. I like this goal though because it really helps me change my mind set on the colder weather. If I have to live in it I have to find a way to get along with it. So for now, I’ll continue loving everything autumn. By loving I guess I mean appreciating.

Winter is finally over and I’m pleased. I got through it with a better attitude than previous years but I’m so glad everything is GREEN.

....but I did tolerate the winter very well I think. I even tolerated better than most people I know just with attitude. I’m hoping it’s over now but I know that is probably not the case. I’ll take what Mother Nature gives us and know that what we haven’t isn’t as bad as other places. I can’t wait to feel the warm sun and grass on my bare feet.

We were in the city last night for a show and it wasn’t extremely cold but it snowed something fierce and made the drive home a white knuckler. We watched cars in front of us spinning out. It was a relief to get home. I’m trying my best to tolerate winter and I think I’ve done a good job so far but the signs of spring are going to be very appreciated.
