Working on acceptance

I do not like cold weather. I mean, I really, really do not like cold weather. Some people think it is not winter without snow. I totally disagree. Others like the cold temperatures so they can wear tights and wool coats and colorful scarves. I would much rather wear sandals and cotton and sleeveless shirts. I like the feeling of the warm sun on my skin. I like being able to sit on the porch. But, I am trying to accept the cold weather and the changes it brings. It gives us a break from yard work. It gives us a chance to snuggle under blankets. Hot chocolate tastes better. December brings Christmas and January brings the new year and all the hopes and promises to look forward to. February rolls around and you dare to think that the warm weather is in reach. If I can just tighten my scarf and pull down my cap and hold on a little longer . . .
