Wednesday Thoughts

Today I was thinking about the color green. Summer, in my mind, is green - lush, green grass, warm green hillsides, and tall green trees. As I drove around a bit today, all I saw was white. White is the color of winter.

But the snow was sparkling and beautiful today, and as I walked through it, taking pictures, I didn't hate it. In fact, I was amazed by how pretty it was. I blame vitamin D for my recent occasional spurts of winter tolerance. (Having the day off doesn't hurt either.)

This morning, Punxsutawney Phil, the known liar, predicted that spring will come early this year. But I've been hurt by that groundhog before. Spring will come when it always comes - in about 10 weeks. Wait - 10 weeks doesn't sound too bad, does it? I'm pretty sure I can make it through 10 weeks. Well, kinda sure. Like, 32% sure. A warm mug of hot cocoa could boost that up to a solid 38%.

I'm about to snuggle up under a blanket and watch Groundhog Day, so I will leave you with a quote from said movie:

You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life. - Phil

And you thought I had a bad attitude about winter?! Actually I figured out the secret to surviving winter, and here it is:
 

Vitamin D

Warm blankets

Good movies

Heated car seats

Good friends

Leg warmers and knee socks (together)

 
If you have anything to add, please do.
 
Happy Wednesday!
