Encouraging Quotes About Winter
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
Winter can be a hard time for people living in cold and often gloomy climates. There isn’t a lot of sunshine, it’s hard to get outside. Don’t get me wrong, I know winter in Michigan is beautiful, but sometimes Vitamin D and exercise isn’t enough when you’ve hit late January and haven’t seen the sun in weeks. There are many things we can do do help ourselves in these times, and I’m not a medical professional, so I won’t even try to be helpful in that way. If you’re feeling depressed, please call your doctor. What I want to share are some beautiful quotes that help me find perspective and remember that the winter is temporary and that spring will come, as it always does.
Keep looking for the beautiful ordinary moments. Here are some of my favorite things about winter:
The way snow can fall in slow motion
The way snow can highlight every tiny branch on a tree
Hot drinks
Cozying up with a blanked to read or watch a movie
The slower pace winter bring, which allows time to reset and refocus
The crunch of snow under boots
I hope the following quotes bring a smile to your face as they do to mine. If you have a favorite quote about winter, I would love to hear it.
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.”
“People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.”
“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.”
“Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.”
“If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life but still the same amount of snow.”
In an effort to foster a creatives community I’ve started a Facebook group called Art is a Record, the same name as this blog. I would love for you to join in the fun as we discuss creative living, projects, art, and life.
