Thankful in January

Okay, I have said it many times this week and I've heard it said by lots of other people too - It's cold outside! Instead of complaining about what I can't change I'm going to be thankful for things that we can only appreciate in the winter in Maine.

Things to be thankful for in January when the temps are 0 and below...

Flannel and Fleece.
No bugs.
No fly spray needed.
It's easier to clean stalls.
The snow is pretty.
No humidity.
We can add layers of clothing to stay warm, we can only take so many layers off to get cool in the summer without offending people.
Hot Chocolate tastes better in the winter.
We appreciate the sun so much more.
Snuggling up to another warm body (human or 4-legged) is nicer in the winter.
We have so much to look forward to - Spring & Flowers.
This is a good time to watch videos and read books.
Being snowed in.
My new pellet stove.
