COSY AND WARM WINTER
Why so much reluctance for winter?
Winter is a season that many of us fear, especially because of the cold. Yet it is an inevitable and necessary phase in the natural cycle of life. We would appreciate it more if we looked at it from another perspective.
Indeed, it is necessary to understand that winter is vital for the Earth. Animals, plants and we humans need winter. All of Nature depends on it. Soil, plants and animals need this period to regenerate and prepare for the next season. Likewise for us, it is the opportunity to focus on oneself and to reflect oneself. It’s time to slow down and give our body more time to rest, because it’s not for nothing that the “night” lasts longer in winter!
The cold comes and goes. It would therefore be wise to appreciate the advantages that this season offers, namely to enjoy winter activities, such as sledding, skiing, etc. Or the interior warmth of a house heated by a wood fire, which is one of the most striking sensations of winter, which I personally appreciate. Or when we have to go out in freezing weather, I like to dress cosy and warm (with a few layers 🙂 ), and especially always have a hot drink close at hand. This is how we spend a serene and peacefully warm winter.
Every winter is different from place to place. Some have snow, some don’t. There are several nuances, but there is a similarity: it is “cold”. Everyone is different, some tolerate the cold better than others. So, at your side, how do you live your winter? Are you one of those who grumble or do you appreciate Winter as it is?
