Never Ending Winter



     It seemed winter would never come.  November became December, and still snow evaded.  If only snow had floated leisurely from the sky, if only the temperatures had plummeted, then perhaps I could have been a little more inclined to get into the spirit of Christmas.   A white Christmas wasn’t to be and soon the New Year dawned. 

     Once the holidays were a memory, the snow arrived, the wind chill factor became a daily concern, and barely into the new semester, snow days were inevitable and midwinter break was officially lost.  And so winter begins; now, I am longing for spring.

  1. Did you see that thing I shared a few weeks ago? It was a cartoon that said, 'winter in Dec: a magical fairyland of lights' (or something like that) and then 'winter Jan-March: A big bucket of suck'. hahaha Although compared to last year, this year is way better.

  3. Boy, could I relate, Kathy! I enjoy wintery weather for Christmas but like you we didn't get snow and had a green Christmas. Now we have snow and I'm dreaming of spring or going South. Never-ending!

  6. Made me reflect upon how our expectations of a season will either enhance it or detract from it. We all want those white Christmas memories, but sometimes, God has other plans.
    Love and blessings, Kathy!

    1. Martha, it is really hard to approach a holiday season with zero expectations. I had next to no expectations for this last Christmas and it turned out pretty good anyways. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  9. It's funny how we long for a season and then that season seems to overstay it's welcome! I hope you can find some joy in the snow, until spring decides to give you a break :)
