I had every intention of starting off this post with a complaint about the weather.

“I hate the snow. Tomorrow is March first. I’m ready for spring. I have to wake up extra early to brush off the snow on my car. My hair will frizz. I hate New England weather. I’m cold.”

and so on.

As I was leaving the gym, mumbling under my breath and catching snowflakes with my eyelashes, I saw that the snow had left a message for me on the trunk of my car.

Is it mocking me, or simply saying hello?

I took this as a sign from Mother Nature.

• Complaining about the snow is a waste of time, and it will not it stop it from falling.
• Look at the glass as half full, instead of half empty
• Embrace one of the few snow appearances we’ve had this winter.

Well played, Mother Nature, well played.
