The JOYS of Winter

AKA "Winter Therapy For My Bloggy-Friend Julie"


You may all read this if you wish, but it is specially created for Julie who is going through mid-winter-mind adjustments just now.

Julie, as I have already told you,
There is much JOY to be found in winter.

Scroll down to find multiple examples.

There is joy in
The stillness,
The quiet,
And the whiteness of snow.

There is JOY in winter activities:
Snowball fights
Making snowmen
Sledding
Skating

There is JOY in leaving your tracks in the snow - - -

And in bringing them inside.

There is JOY in warming your hands
Around your favorite hot drink - - -

While you warm your toes
By the golden glow of your fire.

There is JOY in cuddling
With your favorite blankie
(Snowflakes optional)
In your favorite chair,

Especially when you have
Sole possession of
The remote control.
This is quite possibly
The most important JOY of all.

Smile
In sixty short days
It will be mid-March.
