We had our first cup of coffee. I was thinking I could wish for spring weather but today I choose to love the cold while it is here. This morning I decided to suddenly trim some ivy in the backyard- so I got the kitchen scissors and clipped through it. I was in my bathrobe and had my little old dog with me on his long leash. Today though, why brace against the cold when we can let it be and feel alive in it? When do we reach for new places and when do we stay put? What gives us clarity and what distracts? Meanwhile, the little dog grappled with his own worldly perspectives. He sniffed the ground despite his intermittent heart cough. He kept me company. When he had enough he walked as far as he could into the garage and gave his "I have had enough" bark, that remains strong despite his age. Winter. A season of clarity and quiet to consider clipping away what might entangle us, what we have had enough of. May we consider wisely when we need to change and when spring comes have the energy to reach and grow. We went in for our second cup of coffee.

That is exactly my reason to those who hate winter season; you don't need to bear with it when you can enjoy it. Personally, I love winter season for so many reason. It is cold weather, I don't get haggard! But aside from that, there are several childhood memories that I have that are keep on coming back every time winter season comes. I am pretty sure that is a calm season, it will teach you to think wisely about the decisions you make in life!
