Winter Sucks!!!

Or should I just say that snow sucks! Here we go again, I don't like the cold-so I'm not looking forward to this upcoming winter season. I understand that it has to happen, but I could surely do without it. After last winter's record snowfall here, I can say that I'm bracing myself though I know it probably won't get as bad this year. One would think that I was built for this being from Cleveland and all, but it doesn't lessen my disgust for the snow. My favorite part about winter was watching my dog Sparkie get lost and buried in the snow when you let him outside. Clearly, he wasn't a big fan either, as he would do his business, get some air and come right back and beg to be let back in! If there's anything good about winter it's the fact that we're getting closer to summer LOL!!! I am reminded of a quote that lends some inspiration for this time of year though; "If you give up when it's winter, you'll miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer and the fulfillment of your fall". On a serious note, let us remember that this is a tough time of year for many. Seasonal depression and suicide rates are very high in the winter season. There are many people without adequate heat and shelter. And there are those who will not receive the things that others get and take for granted, such as a warm meal or a nice gift for the holidays. Let us take some time out to think of some of those less fortunate and do something nice for someone else who may not be blessed the way you are. As much as winter may suck for some of us, it can be much harsher for many others.
