There are cold days in winter when getting outside is about the very last thing on my list of stuff I want to do.
And yet, on those frosty days when we force ourselves outside, and come back in with rosy cheeks and cold, stiff toes, I never, ever say to myself, “I wish we had NOT gone outside!”
It always feels better to get fresh, cold air in the lungs.
It feels better to remember that winter can be beautiful.
It feels better to play a little bit, and to be brave about the cold.
“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” (John Ruskin)
I hope your week includes some exhilarating moments of “good” weather!

And I have a book winner to announce on this lovely Monday morning. The Resolution For Women goes to my dear friend Sarah, who lives just a few doors down from me, so delivering it should be very easy!:)
Thanks to everyone who contributed a comment. I loved reading about all the amazing women of faith out there!
