Finding Happiness

I have to confess my feelings about winter. I don't like to complain, but I really hate winter. I hate the cold, the darkness, the snow, the ice...
I don't like being so negative so I try each year to find the beauty and the fun in the long, dreary months from November to March.
This year should have been the hardest to find the good. This year was bitterly cold, overwhelmingly snowy and exceptionally long.
 But!

I actually enjoyed it this year. The snow forced us to slow down and stay home. At least, to stay in our neighborhood. I took more photos this year than I ever have before. We had so many snow days where we could sleep in, go sledding, walk to the neighbors' for movies and games etc.
And I get it.
I get why some people love it.

Now though, I'm ready for my favorite season---- Summer!!!
