I’m probably the happiest person on earth right now. Want to know why? WINTER IS ENDING SOON! Instead of wearing 10 layers before leaving the house every day I can start wearing light jean jackets, t-shirts and maybe even shorts. I won’t have to turn my car on 10 minutes before I leave the house in the morning just so that it will defrost and it won’t shut off mid-drive. I’ll be able to see another colour other than grey and white! The grass will grow again, the sky will be blue, the flowers will start blossoming, and everyone’s faces will be filled with much more colour and warmth. 

I mean, if you look at it outside right now it’s hard to believe we could have weather like that in this city. It’s absolutely freezing cold—so cold we’re under extreme cold weather watches. There are mountains of snow everywhere, and the roads are so dirty that they are all grey. Our cars are filthy. I have a white car, but most people have begun to ask me if I got a new one recently, since they think it’s silver! The thought of going outside for anything is awful… it’s just too damn cold! The other day my husband asked me if I wanted to go out for a nice dinner (which doesn’t happen often) and I said no! I just could not leave the house!!!

It might look like spring and summer are never coming, but believe me—they are. I promise! Every year I go through the same battle of thinking it will never come. But in the last few weeks of February I start remembering that spring is, in fact, around the corner. And, the worse the weather at the end of the winter, the better the weather in spring!!! Fingers crossed it comes soon! I’m so looking forward to it!
