When I thought about writing this post, my idea was to share with you things I’ve tried to tolerate the winter weather. I was planning a “how-to” piece outlining what worked and didn’t work for me. Each time I woke to days with frigid temperatures, snow, and icy roads, I tried changing my thoughts about how I feel about wintery weather; professed a spirit of gratitude for a beautiful day; and ventured outdoors to try several winter activities such as, snowshoeing, tubing, sledding, snowmobiling, skiing and more. I even purchased a snowboard, which is currently in my garage collecting dust, never used. Why? Simply because- I don’t like winter! I feel anything below 10 degrees is a temperature not fit for humans.
So, instead of a “how-to,” I’m just going to have to admit that- “I’ve got nothing!” I’ve been trying to condition myself to like something I don’t when all I need to do is accept my dislike. I may never like winter and may have to endure it indefinitely, so my best bet is not to allow my feelings about it to alter my mood as it has ever since I’ve lived in Colorado. I will accept it the best I can and try to move on with my day.
