You know, I don’t hate Winter in and of itself. I don’t mind the cold, I don’t mind the snow (save for driving in poor conditions). What gets me down is when there’s just a jacket of gray crusty snow on the ground, overcast skies, and smog, so that *everything* is just gray and dull. I sort of just go into hibernation during this time of year usually.
So for the most part I don’t mind the snow we’ve been getting lately– even if I grumble a bit at having to drive in it. Because it means when the snow is gone, that it’ll be gorgeous outside like it was today. The snowy mountains against the clear blue sky create such a beautiful and serene picture. It feels good to be alive on days like this… it’s almost strange the impact sunshine and clear skies can have on how you feel. Why am I writing all this? Just an excuse to express my appreciation for the winter scene before me :)Â
