the winter of my discontent
In my quest to become more positive, I am trying valiantly to look forward to the upcoming winter season, otherwise known as The Five Straight Months of Cold Feet. In that spirit (the positive one—didn’t you identify it in the previous sentence?) I have attempted to brainstorm some good things about winter:
1. Sitting by the fireplace TO GET WARM
2. Reading a good book while snuggling under a blanket TO GET WARM
3. Wrapping great scarves around my neck in jaunty positions TO GET WARM
4. Burrowing under the covers with my hot water bottle TO GET WARM
5. Enjoying cafe au lait and hot chocolate TO GET WARM
6. Wearing soft merino wool sweaters TO GET WARM
7. Cuddling with a nice boy TO GET WARM
8. My fun peacoat with gold buttons I bought TO GET WARM
9. Steaming hot baths with essential oils TO GET WARM
10. Fuzzy chenille socks that I wear TO GET WARM
Yeah, this is going well.

Jennifer, I share your feelings. Therefore, I wrote the following chapter for my book My Bucket of Sand, that will come out next month. http://tinyurl.com/yk3ozmx
“Let the constancy of the seasons remind us of God’s constancy”–love that.
Where did you find this child who soooo expresses your sentiments!
I keep saying I could like winter if it weren’t so cold!
Isn’t that a great picture? It pretty much sums up my attitude.
I like 2,7 , and 8 (because it’s fun). My dog cuddles with me to keep warm,but ohh the flatulance and snoring.
