WINTER WONDERLAND



How could your day be different if every day, starting today, you would look for one thing about the weather, or the outdoors, you could be thankful for, even with this crazy weather? Instead of talking about (or complaining about) what you don’t like? 


“I wish it were warm. I wish it were Spring…I wish, I wish, I wish”…Each day we focus on what we wish were different = one more day we aren’t enjoying the day we’ve been given. We are basically wishing our lives away! 


I’ll be the first to admit that I’m guilty of complaining about how cold it’s been, and how long this winter seems, but the more I listen to how unhappy everyone is about the weather, the more I started thinking, “Why are we wasting so much time being unhappy?” Since we can’t all up and move somewhere warm, and we’ve chosen to live where we are, why not enjoy it? Why are we letting the weather steal our joy? Plus, even the warm places are getting the cold and snow.


So, here’s my CHALLENGE to you! Find one thing today that you are thankful for about the weather/winter...Don't wish one more day away until Spring! 


GO!
