It is snowing today!! Right now, in fact. I can't even see the mountains! Ughh. I like the snow, but man, I am ready for some SUNSHINE!!! I can't wait until I can do things outdoors, like hiking and camping and swimming! As I was thinking about how excited I am for spring time, I was reminded of something I wrote last year in February - I call it "The BREAK UP Letter." Enjoy. :)
Dear WINTER,
I'm sorry to have to do this, but I'm breaking up with you. You have most certainly worn out your welcome, and I'm D-O-N-E. I know doing this through a letter might be a bit impersonal, but I haven't been able to go outside for weeks, due to all of the snow and ice! In retrospect, things were so great at the beginning, when everything was so brand new and innocent. We had so much fun making snowmen and sledding and even doing donuts in the church parking lot.... But lately I've been dreaming of SPRING. He's all I can think about! The bright beautiful colors, the warm breeze blowing through my hair, being able to go outside with less than five layers on, THESE are the thing that I love Winter! I don't love you and I never have. I'm sorry if I led you on by eagerly sporting my new matching gloves and scarf, excitedly anticipating your arrival. But the truth is... I just really like that scarf, and I USED you, only as an excuse to wear it. My interest in you was fleeting, perhaps maybe only as a vice to help me deal with the mourning caused by the passing of my dear friend, Autumn. Bottom line is, I've moved on, and so should you. It's not you, It's me... well actually, NO. Come to think of it, it IS you. It's all your fault, you are a cold and icy man. But that is just who you are and who you have always been, and I can't ask you to change that for me. So I think it's best if you just pack up your things and leave. Be careful not to slip on the layers of ice covering the front porch steps when you go... though I can't help but admit that I'd be pleased if you did. Farewell winter, I hope we can still be friends.
Sincerely, Jessica
