So, I miss going outside with just a t-shirt on, but it’s the dead of winter and that’s not likely  to happen any time soon in my neighborhood.  We’re deep into the thick sweaters and cozy sweatshirts and hoodies, and depend on the space heater and sleeping socks in order to get a good night’s rest.

But all of these things will just make the spring that much sweeter when it arrives.

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant;   if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
