Brrrrr!

I find myself complaining a lot about the cold weather... grumbling under my breath about how the winters in Chicago are awful, and what a pain it is to have to warm up my car every morning. But you know what? The winters here are always going to be cold. And I don't plan on leaving Chicago any time soon. So I thought and thought for days, "what can possibly be good about this?" And one evening, while taking a piping hot shower, while my skin was thawing from being outside... while all my tensions and worries were temporarily melting away... I realized that if I lived in California, or Hawaii, I would NEVER fully enjoy a steaming hot shower as much as I do here. I would never TRULY appreciate a huge mug of hot chocolate. I would never completely appreciate sitting in front of a fireplace... or snuggling under a comforter with a book to read.

So there it is. Cold weather is great! Thank you God for Chicago winters!
