Ways to Enjoy Winter

I have to admit that winter has been very mild for me this year but I know others are experiencing some rough weather. Winter is usually the season we love to get through on our way back to summer but the older I have gotten the more I have a deeper appreciation for the season . . .outside of the holidays.

Below are 5 simple ways you can enjoy the season a little more this year.

  1. Drink something warm and different from your usual warm drink. I like this recipe and just leave out the coffee for me.
  2. Pile on the gear and get your blood pumping outside. Rosy cheeks before you can come back inside
  3. Start that new project but haven’t had time for
  4. Light candles and enjoy the longer amounts of darkness
  5. Spend time conversing and laughing with friends

Late Start to Winter

I am not sure where everyone lives but for me, it seems we are having a late start to winter. For the most part, I don’t mind winter. Let’s say that represents 65% of me. The other 35% showing that I am not a big fan of it. I can very easily enumerate the things I don’t like about it but I can also come up with reasons why I like it as well.

Here are 5 reasons why winter is okay in my books. What reasons do you like winter?

  1. Fresh fallen snow makes everything it falls on look beautiful when it would otherwise look dead. 
  2. When it is cold outside, you seek warmth inside. 
  3. Most people look good bundled-up when outside. 
  4. No one “bats an eye” when you say you just want to stay home and read a good book. 
  5. While it is cold outside, I see more beautiful night skies.
