Winter in Chicago
Well, sure, they say that winter in Chicago can be brutal. And it can, no doubt. But it can also be life-affirming. It can be a time to rest and rejuvenate. If you’re a gardener, you know that the work of winter is to dream of spring. The sentiment carries.
On top of that, there is a day in late winter / early spring, when the temperature in Chicago is higher than it’s been in months. You can maybe even leave your coat unzipped. If you live in Chicago or a similar climate, you know the genuine GRATITUDE that comes with that day. Spirits are HIGH. It’s a lesson in appreciating the little things.
Until that day, dream on.
