Dear Winter,

By shiviii29 on December 17, 2021 • ( 2 )

You’re special to me. But sometimes it makes me feel sad for the way you’re always treated. So misunderstood!!

But hey, you don’t deserve all that. Sure, cold makes me shudder at times, yet like so many things in life, I find I just have to look a little differently to see you differently.

For me you’re way more than just a season. You’re a celebration. You fill me up every year with thoughts and feelings, events and activity and food and incredible beauty. I find joy in who you are. And like even when I come back to the warmth inside, my cold cheeks and hands remind me how perfect you are.

You’re like a holiday gift that always keeps giving. You present me with a multitude of chances to recover, rejuvenate and nourish my soul. You’ve taught me not to recoil from you but instead to rejoice in what you give us…Your monochromatic magnificence. Your cold but calm tranquility. Your luxurious blankets of fresh snow and a warm cup of soup or even a crackling fire. And well, after the holiday rush is over, you too remind me to breathe and take care of myself. To cozy up on the couch by the fireplace with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa. To take a long and relaxing bath with all the fixings and to cook homemade comfort food and eat them with friends and family.

Winter, you’re an essential and natural part of the eternal flow that keeps us all bonded to this life-sustaining planet. And now that I’m wise enough to understand your true nature, I’m grateful for you – exquisitely grateful – for everything you are and everything you bring us each passing year. So, thank you for helping me grow strong, so that I can live fully and fervently all through the year…🤍🌸
