The short answer would be “nothing”. But I’ve been trying to come up with reasons of why I could possibly like winter, and let’s face it, the list is very sparse. So far I have:
1. Oranges, tangerines, and all delicious citrus fruit are in season
2. Persimmons – I love them.
3. Hot yoga is actually enjoyable. Sauna is good too.
4. My cacti start to flower.
5. Skating outside.
The list of negative points is a lot longer… trying to stay positive here as I write this cuddled in a heated blanket, having hot tea, with a stuffy nose and a cough! Winter – I dislike you! The funny thing is, I loved winter as a kid. We spent hours playing outside, building snow forts, tobogganing, skating, and going to ice castles at a good -20C. While in Mexico, I’ve heard people say that cold is good for the blood, and it makes you feel alive.. Really? I think reading in the sun, listening to crickets, and swimming in the ocean is good for my blood, at least I don’t get colds.
