I was just remarking to a friend this morning how I'm just so ready for winter to be over, then I come across this piece of wisdom:

Ten thousand flowers in spring,
the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer,
snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by
unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

~ WU-MEN

Makes me think of why I want winter to be over. Is it the cold? Is it the stressful driving the mornings of freezing rain and snow? Is it having to juggle schedules when Amy's school closes due to the weather? Is it being disappointed that I haven't been skiing as much as I'd like to? Truthfully, it's all of the above. Screw that Pennsylvania groundhog!! I WANT SPRING!!
