16 More Days (Slice #15 - Winter)

I hate the winter.  I mean, with a burning passion from Hades below, I H-A-T-E, hate the winter!  I hate the cold.  I hate the snow.  I hate the dark and dreary days.  I hate the absence of color.  I hate the silence.  I hate the feeling of sorrow and death everywhere.  I.  Hate.  Winter!

But…I appreciate the winter because it brings the spring!  And the spring brings brightness and warmth.  The spring brings colors and sounds.  The spring brings life! 

So while I will forever hate the winter, I will secretly love it deep down inside.  Without winter, without the difficult and dark times in life, we could never fully cherish the rest.
