Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, It's a Wonderful Day

I've lived in Utah my entire life, and one thing I've grown to love is the snow. I hate being cold, but snow makes the cold so much more fun, which is why I can handle winters here.

Here's the problem though: it's December and we have no snow. Like, where is it?? I want to know. I'm getting so antsy for it to finally snow good and hard here so I can go skiing and make snow angels and do all the fun stuff you can only do with snow.
For a while now I've been complaining about wanting snow. I was told Utah was supposed to have some amazing snow this year. I was super excited for this because the snow these last few years has really sucked. So where is this snow? It's just not here. It's on vacation in Florida or something, chillin' out as raindrops.

I mean, look at this gorgeous sky!! What's not to love?

Anyway, I've been pretty annoyed. But then today I realized something. Yes, there's no snow. But it's warm! It's warm and sunny and just absolutely gorgeous! I shouldn't be complaining when it's still amazing weather :) Pretty soon this weather will cease to exist and it'll be cold and dark and not fun. So I should be grateful for this extra bit of fall weather we're having, because I'm gonna miss it something awful as soon as it's gone.

I love feeling the sun on my face. It just makes me so happy :) And around February or March, when we've seen very little of my big bright friend in the sky, I start to miss it so much. There's this thing called "seasonal affective disorder" where basically you get depressed in the winter because of the lack of sunlight, and it makes me wonder if I have that to some degree... But anyway, I realized today that I should take advantage of this fantastic weather and all this sunlight while I can, and really just be grateful for the extra time I get with the warmth :)
