But I did want you to know that I connected with it and it was precisely what I needed to hear. perhaps it would be selfish of me to think that you wrote this post just for me, so I won’t.

It really is all about being in the moment and realizing the joy right there, rather than wanting something different. What a good job turning the gloom around.

AND my husband makes us keep the thermostat at 62 degrees. I am constantly cold in my house. :( But we'll all get through it. Only a couple more months and spring will be on its way.

But thanks for sharing it. I long for what was in the pacific northwest sometimes and sometimes I hate the heat here, wishing I was in a place that had more seasons.

She was born in St.Paul, MN and it was 12 below zero when we brought her home. I always say that her January birth changed my negative thoughts about winter.Hang in there There's nothing like snuggling with a warm baby against your chest in the midst of a cold yucky winter...Peace be with you. p.s. I admire your honesty about all of this and the way you summon up the positives. On Monday we’ll celebrate my first daughter’s 17th birthday.

We love it down here but get so-o-o-o lonely for our fams.

I have always hated winter, but never really gave myself a chance to like it. I guess I don't even have to like it, I should just try to be at peace with it and realize it won't last forever. Thank you for always helping me to see the silver lining. You are always such an inspiration for me on how to live life. I have always hated winter, but never really gave myself a chance to like it.
