I go to my Pinterest page for my motivational or inspirations for the week. This week, I noticed so many of my friends, family, and myself included, talking about how tired we all are! How we all feel like it is a struggle to get going in the morning or even get out of bed. I find myself not wanting to go anywhere, and just stay home!
The conclusion I came to, is that we were meant to hibernate in the Winter.
I truly believe we were meant to sit by the fire, read, relax, drink coffee or tea and wait for Spring! If you read like I do lately, which is all about American History, I am reading about all the work that is done before Winter...then, you wait for Spring to start that hard work all over again. Now we have things called grocery stores, electricity, and gas log fireplaces, so there is no fear of going hungry from lack of stored food or dying of cold from not enough wood. So even though this seems like we should be happy...I find myself envious of staying in, and wondering why some people can't stand it.
I know...I'm not like everyone else wanting Summer sun. Here in Texas that equals 100+ degree heat!
So today, I was inspired by this quote. Appreciate staying at home, find comfort in being at home. With the strange amount of Winter weather, I know many people have cabin fever. But, maybe we need to see the silver lining, we have grocery stores to stock up on food and supplies, we have electric heat, wood burning heat and gas heat...we most likely have options for staying warm. So, try and find the comfort in being at home.
I personally love Winter! You can add layers...taking off too many layers in Summer can be offensive....
Here is why I love Winter~
My dogs trying to figure out how to walk on ice...
Ice looking as beautiful as snow and making us stay home, like a "snow day". Why is this good? We almost never get a real snow that's this pretty. It's usually a dusting and ice here almost always starts like rain. So this kept us home and looked pretty!
Scarlett warming by the faux fire, but luckily, it does give off heat in the school room.
I love the snow on the gate...
Our backyard fountain with snow just looks so serene...
Our cardinal family still visits in Winter, and always thankful that we put out provisions.
This is also why I like staying home...Snow, (not ice), is somewhat of an enigma to Texans! It took me 1 1/2 hours from point A to point B, in what normally with traffic is 30 minutes!

How do you find "Comfort"?
Happy late Monday!
