THINGS I LOVE

February is the month of love. Have you ever thought about the little things in life that you are in love with? How about a cold crisp winter morning when the sun shining on the snow makes it looks like diamonds all over your yard? I’ll bet the sunworshipers in Florida never saw that before. And how about when you think that spring will never get here you see  that little patch of crocuses popping their heads out of the ground, seeking the sun? After a long winter that is a sight that renews the spirit. You can even forgive the overnight snow when the landscape looks like a Currier and Ives print. And don’t you love an excuse just to stay home and read? And the warmth of a beef stew cooking in the stove? There is a lot to love about this time of year if you shut down your complaints and seek the beauty of the season. Don’t you love the little things? Snuggling under a warm comforter when daylight first comes. A mug of something hot toasting your fingers. Grab your cup, pull an afghan up over your toes, and settle in…there’s a little more winter left…enjoy it.
