I could start by saying how I hate to be cold and how I am so over winter but I wouldn’t entirely be telling you the truth.  How easily it rolls off of my tongue that I hate winter.

It’s not true.  I don’t hate winter.  I don’t hate spring, summer or fall for that matter.  It’s true that I’m less thrilled about any given season nearing it’s end but I actually really like all of the seasons and I look forward to each them for many different reasons.

Let’s take winter, for instance.  In the fall, I look forward to winter because I like thoughts of snuggling under blankets in my house when it’s cold outside.

When I’m cold inside, I love popping popcorn and sipping hot chocolate.

Then, we hit the middle of winter, which would be right now.  What I dislike about this time of winter are the empty nests and the bare branches and the world being nothing but cold and gray.

I need sunshine.  I love the sunshine.  Thank goodness the sun still shines during the winter.  This is when I start to daydream about the beginning of spring and the new life it brings.

Can you count the number of times you say you hate a season?  I bet you can find things that you love about the season, if you really sit down and think about it.

For now, stay warm.

I was inspired to write this post and link it up to Beth’s You Capture series.
