Did the stupid groundhog see his shadow where you live? Because he apparently not only saw it here, he was TERRIFIED by it, and now we are being punished with six weeks of living inside one of those giant walk in freezers in the backroom of Walmart where they store the ice cream. Icy roads. Single digit temperatures. Schools canceled.
Let's think about our favorite beautiful, warm, happy place. Close your eyes and imagine you're there. Wait, open them. You can't read with your eyes closed. Feel the warm sunshine, the light breeze, perhaps the sound of water lapping at the shore. Ahhh! Now pick up that cold beverage on the table next to your lounge chair, take a sip, then flip open your laptop and write your Ten Things of Thankful post, because the link is now live!
If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year. A sunny Feb. 2 means winter is taking a break and will come roaring back, which it has done this year. A dreary and wet and cold or even freezing Feb. 2 means winter is spending itself out early and spring comes a bit sooner.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is, spring comes no matter what, that's just something else for which to be thankful!
That is a HUGE thankful, Mimi!
