For me, finding a way to bask in the sun, keep your spirits up, and stay warm in the winter is a true challenge.
You have to rely on hats and all manner of winter wear to try and keep from freezing. In the end, your imagination is your most powerful tool as you pretend you are somewhere fabulous and tropical. (even if you are sitting on a frozen lake!)
Usually, I can fake it for a couple of months. Beat back those winter blahs. But as this winter slowly marches on I must confess; I’m truly longing for a trip back to the beach. Maybe back to Mexico? Anyone else finding this already to be the longest winter ever? I need some beach time!
Day dreaming of sunny days ahead!
Well here we are again today with high winds and snow and i’m so tried of it,i need sunny days and sand between my toes
It definitely felt like the longest winter to me too! Even now it’s too chilly for spring I think!
The only thing getting me through this winter? I’m already picking out summer camps for my kiddos!
That always stuns me!! It’s hard to believe how early you have to have those summer camps picked out. The good one’s fill up so quickly.
I have to say – this winter has been pretty decent by Winnipeg standards! We have had one small stretch of REALLY cold weather, otherwise, it’s been above normal temps! Even in the snow department – virtually nothing! Going into February, I have to say – that is pretty darn great 🙂
…. That being said, I will still gladly board the plane to Mexico in March and bid whatever winter there is a fond farewell 😉
Ahhh Mexico, that would be the best way to say Adios to winter!!
I need winter to be Winter. 🙂 Less snow would be nice in the shoveling department but without it there is now snowforts, sliding, skating and so on. 🙂
Okay, you have me there. If it’s going to be cold, there might as well be snow. At least the white fluffy stuff is pretty!
we were pretty warm here until Jan 1 and have had very little snow so far, for me this has been a pretty good winter
I’m so happy to hear it’s been pretty mild for you! Here’s hoping it stays that way until April!
It certainly feels like the longest winter ever. Darn cold no snow thing:) B
I really was not meant to live in the land of the snow 🙂
I always am here through the whole winter. hubby doesnt know what a vacation is, mind you knock on wood this winter hasnt been so bad we still have more grass then snow and its jan 28th
Only two more months to go!
Beach time sounds good and you have had so many wonderful trips to dream about!
Dreaming about trips past and present? Always seems like a good idea to me!
