Brrr..

Winter is cold.
Yep.
It's true. Shocking, isn't it?

Anyone who knows me already knows how much i LOVE Summer, and also HATE winter.
But tonight i'm staying in my positive mood, no matter what.
Just a forewarning; If you're about to tell me some bad news, Don't.
Shutup and don't tell me. No hard feelings :). Just wanna stay happy.
So this is my list of the things i like about winter, listed in no particular order:

#1 - Herbal Tea. - This is actually the first thing i could think of. I just reeeally enjoy my green tea & mangoes drink, and my camomile tea, and strawberries, raspberries and cranberries tea, and the mango with strawberries tea, and to finish the list, just plain, delicious green tea.
#2 - Nights spent wrapped up in my doona watching Chick Flicks with a hot cup of herbal tea (see #1 above). There's just something about chick flicks on cold winter nights, that make me appreciate being a girl. I wouldn't say i'm completely girly, but i'm not a tomboy either. I like to think that i'm balanced ;).
#3 - Hot showers, filling the bathroom with steam and singing at the top of my lungs for an hour. Unfortunately it sucks when you know you have to end the warmth and step out into the freezing cold... but it doesn't last long. I wrap up in my dressing gown and dry my hair at the old heater in the hallway.
#4 - Snow - Not that it ever, EVER snows in Sale, or that i ever go anywhere where there's snow, but the one time i DID, i really loved it. I could really get into skiing as a serious career :P
#5 - The beauty of it all. I love how the tree skeletons look pasted against a grey-blue sky, or the glistening roads that shine from the rain. It's slightly depressing, yet in a way it's beautiful. But then again there is beauty in every season.
#6 - Scarves, Gloves, Bed Socks & Leg Warmers. What's there to say? I love 'em.
#7 - the fact that every winter for almost four years in a row now, i get to go to Hillsong, Sydney for a week. It's the most amazing concert/conference i have ever even heard of. My times spent at Hillsong have been some of the best experiences of my life. Although, that's not saying much. I haven't done much in my lifetime... yet.
#8 - Counting down the days 'til Spring. That's kinda contradictory, but oh well. It's fun. We talk about our daydreams of blue skies and green grass, birds singing, flowers blooming, the sun shining once more. And if we're really daring, we start counting down the days 'til Summer.

So there you go, there's more to like about Winter than i thought.
I mean it's definitely not my favourite time of year, but It's not as bad as i always think it is. I've survived Sixteen winters, i can survive this one too.
