Day 56: Springtime?

February 20, 2010

I live in Michigan, so during this time of year I try to pretend that I am somewhere else. It is usually cold and dreary, with very little hope swirling around outside. This year for the most part has been a little different. I mean, don't get me wrong, it has still been very cold for the last two and a half months. It's just that the snow has been light, especially compared to how bad some other places have gotten it this year. What I mean to say is that this winter, compared to the last couple of winters, has been incredibly easy to live through.

Take today for example. It is only 11am in the morning right now and it is already 30 degrees and sunny outside. It even has that spring smell in the air, which normally doesn't come for at least another two or three weeks. I am very hopeful right now, whenever it is like this during the winter it seems to make waking up in the morning not quite as hard as it usually is. I don't really know where I am going with this thing today, I basically just wanted to write about how nice it is outside. Though I doubt I will actually be doing anything outside today, it is still nice to know that the end may be coming sooner then we thought. For once this winter, I am actually not picturing myself somewhere other then right here. Well, maybe at least for right now I'm not. Until then of course, I will talk to you tomorrow.
