As October draws to an end, winter is knocking at our doors. Some people love winter weather while others dread it. Since I, personally love change, I celebrate when weather changes.
The cold of winter
Teaches us about
Keeping our faith
About strengthening relationships
And about sticking together
To celebrate this season
With love and hope

Do not let the misery of cold weather
Invade the warmth of the love in your heart
Instead, let it teach you the value of summer
For it is in contrast that we learn to appreciate
What we are missing in one season and have
The abundance of in the next one!

Imagine how boring it would be for us if the weather stayed the same year around. The changing seasons make us appreciate the beauty of all the different types of climates that have been created for us.

I would be more than happy if the weather was consistent. Weβre in the midsts of flooding again, but at least the bushfires should be lessened to some extent

While I enjoy the sun and warmer weather more, your words about embracing all seasonal aspects is wise and so true. As I get older, I enjoy this time of year much more, and in fact quite love the fall. Awesome post, Sadje.
