Life is it as good as it can get? Or is spring really aound the corner?

<p>As I sit here on this dull grey rainy day, looking out of the window whilst typing my blog, I start to wonder if life will get better. . I have yet another cold, my throat is so sore, that my voice has gone completely. So unable to be at work at the moment, I sit here in my pink fluffy dressing gown and ponder is this it?<br>&nbsp;Will life get any better?&nbsp;<br>Will Spring be better this year? <br>When do the light nights start again and the clocks alter? <br>Questions Questions Questions!!!!<br><br>Think I must have SAD syndrome or something as I am sure the winter weather makes me miserable, yet as soon as Spring peeps around the corner and that wonderful warm fresh spring smell is in the air, I can actually feel myself cheering up and looking forward!<br>Winter seems to be a time of slowing down and reflection, yes I know Christmas and New Year I&nbsp; can hear you shouting, but apart from that&nbsp;&nbsp;there is January, a month I know an awful lot of us&nbsp;hate!<br>Not only is it dull, with&nbsp;grey dark nights, its also the longest month on the calender, when you are desperately waiting for your wages!.<br>&nbsp;Surely someone somewhere, could come up with a way of putting some sort of&nbsp; bank holiday in the middle of the month to&nbsp;break it up and maybe give us a break, to just sit cuddled up on the settee and watch DVD&#39;s .( Lets face it, we havent any money to go out, thats all been used up buying Christmas Presents and food for the world and his wife!!) That might make us feel a whole lot better also give us a weeks pay just after New Year to tide us through until the LONG awaited payday!&nbsp;<br><br>Now dont get me wrong, there are parts of Winter that I love, that is when it snows, which because I live in Manchester&nbsp;tends only to last a day. <br>There is nothing prettier than freshly laid pure white virgin snow, the type that is soft like talcum powder, not yet frozen or gone slushy! Even the grottiest of areas, turns in to a winter wonderland when it snows, it seems to mask everything and dampen down the noise from the street, you see children&nbsp;playing out in the street, either building snowmen or throwing snowballs, their eyes sparkling and cheeks bright red from the cold. My favourite pastime is sledging and yes I am old enough to know better but I simply don&#39;t care, it is the best fun in the world.<br>Try it I guarantee it will make you feel exhilerated, yes you will be sore and wet afterwards, but you will also have laughed, your cheeks will have a healthy glow and you will&nbsp;be as hungry as a horse! Food will taste ten times better than it ever has believe me! </p> <p>Am off for now to have a shower and make myself look a little more human. There are things I have to say in my next blog but you will have to wait to find out what!!<br></p>
