A Winter Thanks

Today was bitter cold in Chicago. I really do love the winter, but walking on iced over streets, while the wind whips around you, can make anyone want to hibernate... no, no, midwest winter is not for the faint of heart...

When I came home today, I started to think about this cold season, and why exactly I respect it so much. My conclusion is that, winter (for me) is a great reminder of how fortunate I am...that I have the ability to sleep in a toasty bed under comfy blankets...take a hot shower... drink and eat warm food...

Thank you winter for the reminder...
