I'm Thankful For...Part 3

I know, I got a bit behind on this, but I'm working on it! :) But I am thankful to have lived in places where we can celebrate all four seasons! Sure I love winter the most, but I could honestly say I think I'd go crazy if it was freezing ALL the time. The same goes for summer. Rain, however...is a different story...but for the sake of this post, we'll just skip past that! As I look out my window right now and watch it cloud over...I am REALLY hoping that it will snow. I just can't imagine what it would be like to grow up and never see snow! What fun memories would you have of having it snow so much that CHURCH GOT CANCELLED! or memories of sledding with the Teicherts? Or running Shari's fairly new car off the road because it was icy and never telling her (at least I think I was smart enough not to!) lol... Or spinning cookies, and nearly dying by the railroad tracks? And the list goes on...Now, I'm not gonna lie and say I never have complained about the weather, because I have...but one thing I've learned over the past few years is...I have NO control over the weather, so there's no point in complaining to the world about it! I will say, "Its SO COLD." But I'm not complaining. I would rather freeze to death than burn...lol...but really. Aren't you glad you get to experience all four seasons, even though I think Spring kinda gets rushed because we have long winters, but we do get to experience them all, and I'm thankful for that!

Spring...notice the snow still on the ground! :) It's the only picture I have that was taken around "Spring time." (greg at the HOgle zoo when we went for Spring Break)
Summer...I had a better picture, but I couldn't find it. Plus I thought the sun flair was cool in this..
Fall...I think this one goes way too fast too...But I do love when the leaves change and fall to the ground.
And...of course...WINTER!!! Gotta love it!
OH...and PS...this isn't to say I wouldn't LOVE to live in, say, California, or Florida, or Hawaii...because I SOOOO would...but I will always be grateful that I have lived in all 4 seasons!

I guess if you look at it that way, I agree with you and I'm grateful to have lived in all 4 seasons. My family went to Cali for Christmas one year, and it was Christmas day and in the 70's and no snow. It didn't feel like Christmas. So I do like the snow for that reason. Good post! Way to look at the good things in life that we all take for granted. :)
