I hear you. I am not a fan of winter either, but I am trying my best to look for the beauty in it. Today it snowed and the snow was sparkling like diamonds. It was all so fresh and clean. It is like a blanket for mother nature. I also watched the people running around, brushing off cars all bundled up. It was a good day for hot cup of tea, and to put the fireplace channel on. lol. Look a little closer, maybe you can find some beauty in those ever changing grey skies, blowing snow, and gentle snow falls. I love looking at Christmas lights and the kids making snowmen. I hate winter, but this year I am finding the positive in it because it will make it easier to tolerate, improve my mood and make me feel better

My mom has seasonal affective disorder

she tries to get as much sunlight as possible and used to have a 'happy light' that artificially generated sun light.

I'm often up at night and winter doesn't affect me.

Sorry, guys I write poetry and 'winter's grave' means death from depression. It was a metaphor. Though this time of year coming up sucks too.

I was just going to say what a poetic name for a discussion post.

Have you written any poems about the valiant struggle to carry on in the face of such pain? It's a worthy subject. Finding the courage to go on and keep striving, as you and so many others do, is a kind of invisible nobility that deserves to be honored.

My furnace broke down Saturday. It's Tuesday, and I'm really feeling winter due to a bad landlord. BRRR.
